A seafarer on board a capesize bulker operated by Taiwan’s Formosa Plastics Marine Corp (FPMC) has died in a botched crew change attempt that took place off the Australian coast.
The incident involving the 170,000-dwt bulk carrier Formosabulk Clement (built 2001) occurred in Australian territorial waters, approximately five nautical miles (9 km) off Mooloolaba, according to the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF).
