An employee of maritime security company Alphard Maritime has occupied another vessel in a wage protest — a month after seizing control of an Eagle Bulk Shipping bulker.
The Ukrainian national boarded the 600-dwt floating armoury Golden Palm (built 1978) in the southern Red Sea over the weekend.
Media reports had referred to a hostage-taking situation on the vessel, but its operator — Spain's Palm Charters — said this was not correct.
