Port authorities detain ship which owes crew €80,000 in unpaid wages
According to the Irish Transport Federation, the Port State Control (PSC) yesterday found the ship was not implementing a safe code of watchkeeping while at sea and it also had concerns over ration levels on the boat.
The ship arrived into Passage West harbour earlier this week carrying a cargo of timber. The ITF sought the arrest of the Defender after receiving a tip-off from onboard that the crew were owed thousands of euro. The ship moved to Cork while the situation was being investigated.
