Australia has banned a bulker from its waters for 12 months after the vessel was found to be underpaying its crew.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) received a complaint via the ITF alleging discrepancies in the payment of wages aboard the 82,000-dwt DL Carnation (built 2014).
An AMSA surveyor subsequently found that the ship was operating with two sets of wage accounts on board.
