Australian authorities have come under fire for a double-grounding of a Chinese-controlled tanker in Brisbane.
The Australian Transport Safety Board (ATSB) found that the bad weather that caused the incident involving the 45,800-dwt CSC Friendship (built 2008) was “foreseeable”.
The investigation described a “significant” weather event that broke the MR tanker’s moorings late on 27 February 2022.
