AMSA bans bulk carrier from Australian ports for 18 months

by The Editorial Team

May 5, 2021

 

AMSA has banned the bulk carrier Movers 3 from Australian ports for 18 months, following outstanding mechanical and survey issues being resolved this week.

In fact, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority has handed-down an 18 month ban to Panama-flagged bulk carrier Movers 3, which is operated by Aswan Shipping.

As explained, the vessel has been detained at anchor off Weipa in far north Queensland since 4 March 2021 for failing to carry out important regular surveys of the ship, and for appalling working and living conditions onboard.

 

Overnight, outstanding issues, namely the replacement of poorly maintained ballast tank head vents and the updated ship surveys, were finally resolved after a lengthy port State control detention.                 

On 29 April 2021 AMSA released Movers 3 from detention and immediately issued it with a ban, prohibiting it from entering an Australian port for 18 months.

AMSA Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Sachi Wimmer said Aswan Shipping had shown a complete disregard for its obligations to provide decent working and living conditions for its seafarers, and had not ensured its ships were maintained so they were safe for the crew and Australias marine environment.

Aswan Shippings neglect has resulted in a difficult two months for the seafarers on Movers 3, let alone the effort required by many organisations to support them during this time. We are holding Aswan Shipping accountable, it needs to step-up and fulfil its obligations as a ship owner and operate responsibly if it wants to trade in Australian ports in the future.

What is more, Ms Wimmer thanked the various parties involved who had assisted where Aswan Shipping had failed to act, organising food and welfare support for the impacted seafarers.

The banning of Movers 3 should serve as a stark reminder to the maritime industry that AMSA will not tolerate or accept sub-standard ships in Australian waters. A banning constitutes more than just a disruption to shipping schedules, it comes at great financial and reputational loss to the companies associated with these ships. Ship operators like Aswan Shipping are not welcome in Australian waters.

.Ms Wimmer added.

Concluding, another of Aswan Shippings ships, Maryam is still under detention in Port Kembla for similar issues after being inspected by AMSA back on 19 February 2021.
