The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has banned the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Agia Sofia from Australian ports for six months.
AMSA inspected the ship at Hay Point in Mackay on Saturday 25 July 2020 after receiving a complaint via the International Transport Workers’ Federation.
During the inspection AMSA found evidence that some seafarers on board the ship had not been paid their wages in full since August 2019.
