Crew change complications

International coronavirus-related restrictions have made it difficult to change crew aboard ships, but AMSA has issued a notice saying that seafarers cannot be forced to sign extensions to their contracts if they want to be repatriated.
AMSA said it had detained the bulk carrier over potential serious deficiencies, including repatriation of seafarers.
The Taiwanese-owned ship sails under a Hong Kong flag and is captained by Chinese officers with a Myanmarese crew.
It has been operating under a Federal Government licence, sailing from port to port along the Australian coast; it arrived in Newcastle with a cargo of alumina for Tomago Aluminium.

So, who is responsible, and who benefits?


The pandemic is making things work, but you can find multiple stories of exploitation when circumstances make it easy.
