The vessel has reportedly been detained by the Huizhou Coast Guard after an alleged collision with a fishing vessel in Chinese waters, possibly involving a fatality and the ship not remaining at the scene. The Chief Officer has been arrested, while the captain and crew stay onboard during the investigation. The Sierra Leone Flag Administration states the vessel was registered only for a single delivery voyage.
