Maritime authorities in New Zealand have recently detained the bulk carrier Daiwan Justice after learning that the crews’ wages had not been paid for almost four months. Responding to tip from the International Transport Workers’ Federation, the Panama-flagged vessel was detained by officers with the Maritime NZ on Saturday, 2 March 2019, at Lyttelton. Maritime NZ detained the ship under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006), which sets out minimum standards for the health, safety and welfare of seafarers, including conditions of employment. It also has provisions for complaints and investigations.
