Fraudulent paperwork, out-of-date maps and busting a one-way traffic system have landed a Norwegian shipmanager in hot water with UK authorities.
Th. Jacobsen Management was hit with two fines after entering three guilty pleas in a case which saw its previously-managed 2,568-dwt Sarah (built 1971) involved in “hazardous incidents” with a pair of ships two years ago.
The general cargoship, now named Ranyus, was collared at the port of Shoreham-by-Sea in October 2008 and clamped for three days after 17 deficiencies were found.
