Greek media has reported an unfortunate incident where a master of a cargo ship has been arrested for overloading.
What happened?
Master of cargo ship MALAGA was arrested, after PSC inspector spotted loading line being under water, overload of some 9 centimeter, after loading cargo of marble.
Ship Detained
The ship was detained, some other detainable deficiencies were found. MALAGA arrived at Kavala on Feb 19, as of Feb 25 she was still in port.
Too Harsh A Charge?
The ship was overloaded, though 9 centimeter overload doesn’t seem all that terrible. Most people are saying it isn’t justifiable and there isn’t a sound case against the Master.
