Maersk fyrer kaptajn efter krænkelsessag

Maersks amerikanske datterselskab, Maersk Line Limited har fyret en skibskaptajn, der i april slap med en suspendering efter en krænkelsessag tilbage fra 2015, skriver ShippingWatch.

Den nu fyrede kaptajn blev ved en amerikanske domstol den 20. april i år suspenderet i 12 måneder, hvoraf de 8 blev gjort betinget, i en sag som sexchikane og overgreb begået, da han var 1. styrmand på containerskibet Maersk Idaho.

Kaptajnen blev imidlertid ikke dømt efter anklageskriftet og afgørelsen blev appeleret af U.S. Coast Guard med krav om en hårdere straf.

Og efter de fire måneders suspendering har Maersk Line Limited altså valgt at fyre kaptajnen.

Maersk har efter flere krænkelsessager sat gang i en omfattende undersøgelse, hvor godt 350 kvindelige ansatte på rederiets skibe bliver interviewet for at kortlægge problemets omfang.
