A US federal judge has extended the suspension of a former AP Moller-Maersk officer accused of abusive sexual contact in a decade-old case but stopped short of rescinding the seafarer’s licence.
The decision against Captain Mark Stinziano, who worked as a chief mate on a container ship in the Danish shipping giant’s Maersk Line Ltd (MLL) fleet, comes more than a year after the US Coast Guard’s vice commandant ordered the agency’s in-house legal system to have another look at the case.
