Catch-22 keeps mariners caught in geopolitical storm

Desperate mariners on ships stranded for months by China s effective ban on Australian coal imports are being prevented from leaving by a stand-off between a complex network of shipping firms.
While the coal ships cannot unload in China, a catch-22 in maritime law allows importers to insist the ships not take their cargo elsewhere on pain of forcibly arresting the ship as though it were a person.
Ships have continued to unload coal from other countries at Chinese ports even as those from Australia languish.

One shipowner, the Mediterranean Shipping Company, said it has repeatedly requested permission to divert its ship Anastasia, which is stuck at the Chinese port of Caofeidian, to another country to change crew but has been rebuffed.
