US EditionDenmark Detains Iranian-Flagged Container Ship Over Registration Issues
The container ship 'Nora' was detained for improper registration after switching flags and shares identifiers with a U.S.-sanctioned vessel, authorities said.
- On Feb 19, the Danish Maritime Authority detained Nora, a container ship under the Iranian flag, holding it in Danish waters pending valid registration proof from a flag state.
- Flag-State records show Comoros informed Denmark the vessel was not listed in its register after falsely claiming registration in Aruba and Comoros, sharing an IMO number with CERUS.
- Tracking data show the vessel left Saint Petersburg on January 16, went dark mid-January, stopped at Skagen on January 22, and has remained near Aalbaek for 28 days idle for 25 days.
- Authorities carried out a Danish port-state inspection, which they later said found no significant safety deficiencies, with a Danish patrol ship and sea drone deployed nearby.
- The Treasury linked the vessel to Argun Shipping Inc. and Reel Shipping LLC, which controls six additional ships, with the Cerus/Nora transiting Danish waters at least 10 times in the past year.
