USCG inspectors detained the Japanese Bulker after they found a disabled fire-extinguishing system in the engine room of the 751-foot vessel.
Reasons For Detention:
- Port state control officers discovered that the automatic fire extinguishing system that protects the vessel’s engine room had been disabled by the crew.
- The vessel owners failed to ensure appropriate corrective measures.
