AMSA prosecuted captain and company for fattal accident involving a pilot
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has prosecuted the captain of the 'Boshi 58' and the shipping company Fu Ye Shipping, based in Hong Kong, in connection with a fatal accident that occurred on May 25, 2023 involving a ship’s pilot. The pilot’s ladder broke and left him with severe injuries when he was being transferred to the cargo ship. Investigators discovered throughout the trial that the pilot ladder had been illegally kept and had not been inspected regularly, which had caused its condition to worsen to the point of danger. The ship's captain and the Fu Ye Shipping’s master pleaded guilty and received fines of $5,300 and $32,000, respectively, for breaking Australia’s Navigation Act of 2012 and a 2023 maritime order. Pilots depend on the captain and crew to maintain, store, and rig pilot ladders appropriately; neglecting a pilot ladder can have fatal consequences
