The Solomon Islands has had a tense relationship with the US and its allies since agreeing to a security pact with China in May.
The USCGC Oliver Henry was on patrol for illegal fishing in the South Pacific for a regional fisheries agency when it failed to obtain entry to refuel at Honiara, the Solomon Islands capital, a US Coast Guard press officer told Reuters in an emailed statement.
The US vessel was diverted to Papua New Guinea instead, the official said.
