The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has handed down a 90-day ban to a Spliethoff ship, accusing the owner of a “pattern of unacceptable performance”.
The action against the Netherlands-flag, 12,500-dwt multipurpose Flevogracht (built 2011) is part of a crackdown on “poor performers” in the maritime industry, AMSA said.
Inspectors found the ship’s rescue boat engine was defective.
