Super-Arteta Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On October 22, 2025, the cargo vessel 'Super Arteta' faced detention at the Dalian port after a thorough inspection carried out by the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) authorities. The inspection revealed a total of 12 deficiencies, with four deemed severe enough to justify the vessel's detention. This action was triggered by an extensive evaluation of the ship's maintenance protocols and safety management practices in accordance with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which is managed by Blue Fleet Management Co Ltd. Having arrived from Hong Kong on October 20, the 'Super Arteta' remained anchored in port as of October 24, awaiting further actions regarding the identified deficiencies.
