Ding-Heng-39

The 'Ding Heng 39' was detained at Yingkou following a Port State Control inspection under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) framework on April 14, 2026. The inspectors found six deficiencies, four of which were being regarded as seriously and grounds for a detention. The tanker left the port again on April 15, next headed to Singapore with an ETA as of April 24.

A 29-year-old man was medevaced from the "Dreggen" approximately 130 miles south of Southwest Pass in the Gulf of Mexico on Sep 6, 2012. The chief mate, an Indian national and resident of Destrehan, reportedly injured his groin after his trousers got caught in a spindle while working aboard the tanker. The Coast Guard Sector New Orleans watchstanders received a satellite phone call at 1:38 a.m. from the Dreggen and directed the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station New Orleans MH-65C Dolphin helicopter and crew. The aircrew safely hoisted the crewman onto a stokes litter and transported him to West Jefferson Medical Center in Marrero. The chief mate is reportedly in stable condition.
