Reviews & Ratings for the Aurora-One

The bulk carrier 'Aurora One' has officially resumed its journey after a challenging 18-day standstill at the port of Bayonne. On March 1, 2026, the vessel set sail heading towards Caen-Ouistreham, after being anchored off the port at coordinates 49° 20' N 000° 12' W on March 2. Arriving from St. Petersburg, Russia, the bulk carrier had faced significant delays due to a turboshaft engine failure and a minor fire that broke out around the time of the malfunction. The situation prompted the CSN (Naval Safety Commission) to conduct thorough inspections on February 9, which ultimately led to the ship's detention due to identified technical deficiencies and concerns regarding the crew's safety. Loaded with steel plates, the 'Aurora One' is now back in service as it continues its critical maritime operations.
