We often find that visiting seafarers are often not allowed to go ashore bevause of government inspections, etc.., even on the Day of the Seafarer. According to ​https://www.amsa.gov.au/about/regulations-and-standards/marine-notices/202602-access-shore-leave-seafarers, "(This marine notice supersedes 2024/07.) Marine notice 2026/02 highlights the requirement to provide seafarers with shore leave when their ships visit Australian ports.
What's changed
A port State control (PSC) inspection is not a reason to delay or deny shore leave.
Seafarers can remain ashore during an AMSA PSC inspection without this resulting in adverse action against the vessel.
What you need to know
Seafarers must be given shore leave to support their health and wellbeing, where operational requirements allow.
Companies, owners and masters should consider the benefits of shore leave when managing health, wellbeing and fatigue risks.
Shore leave should not be denied for financial reasons."

If visiting seafarers require transport whenever our centre is closed they can call an uber or anyone of say 3 taxi companies. 132227, 131008. 132211. They can only pick you up by the relevant security gate. In the case of Berth 8, it is at the top of road under the overhead conveyors. It is Pelican Point Rd and your road out. There are train stations on the Outer Harbor line.

Stella Maris Port Adelaide, Quin Marine and the ITF all assisted the crew of the livestock carrier Mawashi Al-Gasseem in 2005. According to Les Jones from the Port Adelaide Historical Society (2͏0͏2͏1͏), the "Livestock carrier Mawashi Al Gasseem was arrested in Port Adelaide by the Admiralty Marshall in October 2005. She was removed to the anchorage where she remained for 8 months due to unpaid debts of around USD 600,000 for fuel and another USD 400,000 for salaries to the mainly Filipino crew. This vessel can carry around 100,000 sheep and as such is one of the largest livestock carriers of its kind. Quin Marine after its arrest continued to support the master Captain Roman Alcantara and the 69 crew with food and fuel to keep the lights on for 6 months even though they were owed $130,000 by the owners."

According to https://www.misyononline.com/book/export/html/693 , "Captain Roman Alcantara was in command of the MV Mawashi AL Gasseem, a livestock carrier, when it was arrested in Adelaide, Australia in March 2005. The ship, with its 69 mainly Filipino crew, had actually been sailing the previous month without any provisions. The ship was arrested after a Danish company, OW Bunker and Trading, sued for non-payment for fuel."
