Bulk carrier banned from Australia for unpaid wages

Fri Apr 10 19:29:25 CEST 2026 Timsen

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has issued a six-month ban against the 'VBG Wuzhou' for unpaid crew wages and other violations. After the ship arrived in the port of Newcastle on April1, 2026, the AMSA conducted a comprehensive inspection. It found that the crew had not been paid for seven months, with unpaid wages totaling nearly A$69,000 (US$49,000). In addition, the AMSA identified multiple issues, including insufficient food and not providing free drinking water. It also reports the ship was detained for unseaworthiness and being substandard. The bulker departed Newcastle on April 7, bound for Singapore. After its departure, AMSA issued a six-month ban from entering or using any Australian ports or waters. It remains in effect until Oct 4.
