Cyprus-Flagged Bulk Carrier Atlantis Trade Detained in Gijon

The bulk carrier Atlantis Trade (IMO 9620994) has been detained at the Spanish port of Gijon following a Port State Control inspection carried out on 28 Oct 2026 under the Paris MoU regime. Inspectors recorded nine deficiencies during the examination, of which five were assessed as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port until the issues are rectified. The ship, flying the flag of Cyprus, has a gross tonnage of 24,196 and is managed under the ISM Code by Atlantis Management Inc. Detentions under the Paris MoU framework occur when inspectors identify deficiencies serious enough to pose a risk to the safety, health or environment, or when conditions do not correspond with the vessel's certificates. Bulk carriers are subject to close scrutiny under the regime given their operational profile and cargo-handling risks. The vessel will remain detained in Gijon until the outstanding deficiencies are addressed and the port authority is satisfied that the ship meets the required international safety and operational standards before clearance to depart is granted.
