Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Pabela

On December 16, 2025, the bulk carrier 'Pabela' was detained in Huanghua following an inspection conducted by the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control. The inspection revealed a total of 13 deficiencies, with three classified as serious enough to warrant detention according to MoU guidelines. The ship, which arrived from Paradip on December 15 and was scheduled to reach Tianjin by December 18, had to vacate its berth on December 16. However, 'Pabela' remains anchored at position 38° 58' N 118° 03' E as of December 19, awaiting rectification of the identified deficiencies before proceeding to its next destination.

The 'Diamond Stars' found itself under quarantine off the coast of Santos after three crew members tested positive for COVID-19. The vessel, which arrived for a crew change on July 11, 2020, anchored at the port at coordinates 23° 57.11' S 046° 18.61' W on July 30 at 7:40 a.m., following the quarantine order issued on July 29. This situation has raised concerns as maritime operations continue to adapt to the ongoing pandemic.
