The captain and first mate aboard the Malta-flagged bulker adrift near a wind farm off the Netherlands are in legal hot water, Nautilus International said on Tuesday.

The labour union cited domestic media reports saying the two seafarers were arrested after the incident by Dutch authorities. On 31 January, the 37,200-dwt Julietta D (built 2013) lost control in rough seas near the Hollandse Kust Zuid wind farm, which is under construction.
