Working Conditions Aboard the Eternal-Joy

**Title: 'Eternal Joy' Faces Detention in Taizhou Amid Compliance Concerns** In a significant maritime development, the cargo vessel 'Eternal Joy' was apprehended during a Port State Control inspection in Taizhou, Jiangsu, on April 19, 2026. The inspection, carried out in accordance with the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), revealed a staggering eight deficiencies on the vessel. Of these, seven were deemed severe enough to justify the detention of the ship. The inspection raised serious compliance issues associated with the vessel's operations and safety practices under the management of its ISM company, Zhangjiagang Dongcheng Shipping Co. Ltd. As of April 21, the 'Eternal Joy' remained docked, with authorities closely monitoring the situation to ensure necessary corrective actions are taken.

**Title: Vessel Auctioned Off to Recycling Facility** In a recent development, a vessel has been officially sold to a recycling facility on July 4, 2026. This transaction marks another significant step in the maritime industry's lifecycle, as the ship will soon be dismantled and repurposed at the Breakery. Stay tuned for more updates on the ship’s decommissioning process and its next chapter.
