According to the International Transport Workers’ Federation , the Yangtze Fortune was arrested by the Australian Federal Court in Portland, Victoria.
The ship, it said, has been anchored near Portland since October and will be subjected to an abandonment notice filed with the International Labour Organization.and many of the crew are desperate to return home but must now stay with the ship while court action and the ship’s sale process unfold,” ITF said in a statement.
ITF Australian Inspectorate Coordinator Ian Bray also noted that more than 30 crew members–all from the Philippines–have since been abandoned on the stranded ship. “These workers are already owed, collectively, more than a quarter of a million dollars in unpaid wages, and while the court action is on foot, they must stay with their ship despite the ever diminishing prospect of receiving what is owed to them,” he added.
