Australian authorities have banned a bulker from entering its waters until 2021 for underpaying its crew — the third such incident since late July.

The 36,300-dwt Unison Jasper (built 2019) is barred for six months for numerous breaches of the Maritime Labour Convention, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said.

The breaches relate to the operation of “several sets of wage accounts and multiple conflicting seafarer employment agreements”.
