Australian unions warn some foreign seafarers forced to stay on board with no prospect of returning home.
Australia's maritime regulator has been inundated with complaints about shipping crews being forced to stay on board for months on end without any prospect of returning home - a problem complicated by Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Four other vessels have also been detained over the past month over related issues.Posted On:6-Aug-2020
