Taiwanese port authorities have steered a Greek-controlled bulker to a safe anchorage off Kaohsiung after receiving union reports that the 22-year-old panamax was posing a risk to the crew.

Officials of the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) posted on LinkedIn that a hold of the 74,000-dwt Agios Nikolaos I (built 2000) was full of water and its forward ballast tanks were taking on water.
