Two people have been arrested and charged for operating an unseaworthy and substandard vessel
Two people have been arrested and charged for operating an unseaworthy and substandard vessel. Australian Maritime Safety Authority inspectors boarded the 'Tomin' in the Port of Yamba on June 25, 2018, and detained the vessel after it was suspected to be unseaworthy, substandard and a threat to the marine environment. It was believed the vessel undertook a voyage to Australia from the Solomon Islands without required certification. With support from New South Wales Police, the owners of the vessel were arrested on board and have been charged with offences under the Navigation Act. AMSA inspectors found what appeared to be structural leaks and oily waste inside the vessel. Report with photo: https://www.dailyexaminer...
