The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) says a
$125,000 fine given to a Chinese shipping company trying to
take a short-cut across the Great Barrier Reef highlights the
need for ongoing vigilance of the shipping industry.
The captain and first officer of the 291m bulk carrier
MV Bulk Ingenuity, owned by Grand China International Ship
Management, were charged after the ship set a course to sail
through the environmentally sensitive Flinders Pass on its way
to Abbot Point, near Bowen, in Queensland.
The Townsville Bulletin reported that the ship was
detected by the Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Vehicle
Traffic Service on July 21 and that initial attempts at contact
were unsuccessful. Australian Federal Police and personnel
from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and
Australian Maritime Safety Authority searched the ship later
that day.
Captain Huaien Xu and his First Officer Lu Zhang —
both Chinese nationals — were charged under the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park Act 1975 on Monday. They subsequently
entered guilty pleas in Townsville Magistrates Court and were
fined a total of $125,000.
MUA National Secretary Paddy Crumlin said pressure
from unscrupulous shipowners meant corners would often be
cut by crews who had little choice but to follow orders. Unscrupulous foreign shipowners threat to Great
