Bulk Carrier AURORA ONE Detained in Bayonne

The bulk carrier AURORA ONE (IMO 9343819) was detained following a Port State Control inspection conducted under the Paris MoU at the port of Bayonne on 10 Feb 2026. Inspectors recorded a total of 11 deficiencies, five of which were classified as detainable, prompting authorities to hold the vessel in port. The Marshall Islands-flagged ship has a gross tonnage of 7,341 and is managed under the ISM Code by AURORA SHIPPING LTD-BUL. Details of the specific deficiencies identified during the inspection have not been disclosed, though the number of detainable items indicates concerns significant enough to restrict the vessel's departure until corrective action is taken and verified. Under the Paris MoU regime, detentions are imposed when deficiencies are considered serious enough to pose a risk to safety, the environment, or living and working conditions aboard. Vessels subject to detention are typically required to rectify the identified faults and undergo a follow-up inspection before being cleared to resume operations. The case adds to the vessel's inspection history on record with Paris MoU authorities, who maintain detention data as part of broader efforts to monitor compliance among ships calling at European ports. Further updates on the vessel's release are expected once corrective measures have been completed and verified by port state control officials.
