Maersk Line is now finding itself in the spotlight after a ship it chartered crashed into a major bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse and kill 6 people.in Baltimore Tuesday, for firing a whistleblower who had reported safety problems on one of the company's vessels to the U.S. Coast Guard.
On Dec. 29, Coast Guard personnel boarded the ship for an inspection, which the first mate assisted with. During that inspection, the Coast Guard noted in their report that there was a substantial leak in the fire main, a cracked safety rail and other problems with the ship. "Reporting to shall only take place, after discussing the issue with the respective Ship Superintendent, Fleet Group, and the Marine Standards team.
"OSHA finds that this policy is repugnant to the Act and creates a chilling effect because it dissuades employees from reporting any safety concerns directly to the USCG or other federal, state, or local regulatory agencies," the agency noted in the DOL report.
