Bulk carrier banned from Australian ports after detention
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has, for the third time in less than two months, banned a vessel from Australian waters for six months after having violations of the Maritime Labour Convention, including accusations of not paying seafarers and charging them for potable water. In the latest case, the 'FPMC B Forever', which is operated by Formosa Plastics Marine Corporation (FPMC), has been banned from entering Australian ports or waters until Oct 4, 2026. The detention order followed by the immediate ban came after AMSA boarded the bulk carrier on April 23 at the Port of Newcastle for a port state control inspection. The inspectors found that the ship’s crew had been underpaid by almost A$15,000 (US$10,853). In addition, the crew was being charged for potable water, among other unlawful violations of the MLC.
