Ship banned from Australian ports for 180 days
The 'Marsgracht' has been detained twice this year by Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Port Alma for the improper stowage of dangerous goods, first on Feb 6, 2024, and then on Nov 14 for contravening the IMO’s International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. It was the fourth detention of Spliethoff vessel since June 2022 for failure to comply with the IMDG code in the stowage of dangerous cargoes, which demonstrate an inability to ensure safe operational practices across the fleet, the AMSA said. Spliethoff has a 12.6% average of detentions over the last two years, well above the global average with multiple ships detained. Noting the seriousness and nature of these breaches, and the apparent lack of effective processes to rectify failings, it was regarded as appropriate that the 'Marsgracht' may not enter or use an Australian port for a period of 180 days.
