Bulk Carrier SV ADELAIDE Detained in Aughinish Under Paris MoU

The Singapore-flagged bulk carrier SV ADELAIDE (IMO 9529504) was detained at the port of Aughinish following a Port State Control inspection conducted on 14 Sep 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded six deficiencies during the check, one of which was assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port pending rectification. The 34,060 gross tonnage bulk carrier is managed under the ISM Code by Bernhard Schulte Shipping. Port State Control inspections are carried out to verify that foreign-flagged vessels calling at member ports comply with international safety, security and environmental standards set out in conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL and the ISM Code. A detention is issued when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the vessel, its crew, or the marine environment, and the ship is not permitted to sail until the issues are addressed and verified by the relevant authority. No further details on the nature of the specific deficiency that triggered the detention, or on the vessel's expected release date, have been disclosed. Bernhard Schulte Shipping has not issued a public statement regarding the detention at this time.
