Second Australian detention in a week exposes Chinese owners’ failure to pay crew
Australian authorities have detained a second vessel at a Queensland port after crew members reported being owed more than $100,000 in unpaid wages. The Hong Kong-flagged bulk carrier Xing Jing Hai, owned by Chinese company Ocean Prosperity and managed by Dalian Shipping, was delivering clinker — a material used in the manufacture of cement — to the Port of Brisbane. The vessel is the second to be detained by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority during the past week after the Panama-flagged Fortune Genius was held at the Port of Gladstone last week following an inspection by the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) that found fraudulent documentation, including two sets of books, used to conceal wage theft. The ITF has also written to AMSA seeking an audit of a third vessel in Port Kembla, the Xing Ning Hai, which is owned by the same company as the Xing Jing Hai.
