A Danaos Shipping capesize bulker has been banned from Australian ports for three months after authorities described it as “unseaworthy”.
The state of the 175,858-dwt Peace (built 2010) was described as so poor that it “represented a very real and unacceptable risk to the safety of seafarers onboard and Australia’s marine environment”.
The Peace is the second Danaos Shipping vessel to be given a lengthy ban from national waters by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) this year.
