Priority Alert – Europe and the Mediterranean
War risk/Detention
Details
Narrative:
An Iran-flagged container vessel was detained by Danish authorities whilst anchored 14.2NM north-east of Frederikshavn, Denmark. The vessel had been at anchor in Danish waters since 22 January prior to its detention. Reports indicated that the vessel had been falsely flying the Comoros flag whilst inside Danish waters before changing its declared registration to Iran. The vessel had operated under at least five different flags since July 2025, two of which had been confirmed as instances of false flagging. The vessel had been sanctioned by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) since 2020 under its Iran Sanctions Programme. Uncorroborated reports alleged that the vessel’s ownership is connected to individuals within the Iranian government.
