Container Ship NORA Detained in Skagen Under Paris MoU

The container vessel NORA (IMO 9259408) was detained by Port State Control authorities in Skagen following an inspection conducted on 19 Feb 2026, under the Paris MoU framework. Inspectors identified a total of 15 deficiencies, of which four were classified as detainable, prompting the decision to hold the vessel in port. The NORA is a 28,676 gross tonnage container ship flying the flag of Iran. The vessel is managed under the ISM Company AVA TARABAR DARYA. Details of the specific nature of the deficiencies have not been disclosed in the inspection report. Port State Control inspections under the Paris MoU are designed to verify that foreign vessels calling at European ports comply with international safety, environmental and labour conventions. Detainable deficiencies are those considered serious enough to pose a risk to the safety of the ship, its crew, or the environment, and such findings require rectification before the vessel is permitted to continue its voyage. The vessel will remain detained in Skagen until the identified deficiencies are addressed to the satisfaction of the inspecting authority and clearance is granted for departure.
