LIBERIAN-flagged Grand Esmeralda has left the port of Geraldton after outstanding wage payments were made to her crew.
The International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) said a dispute which had left the bulk carrier in limbo off the Western Australian coast had now been resolved.
The vessel’s 24 Filipino crew had earlier refused to sail to China, saying they were owed thousands of dollars in wages.
