The Mari­time Uni­on says a plan by the Depart­ment of Labour to track down ship jump­ing crews by employ­ing a private invest­ig­at­or is ques­tion­able at the least.

Mari­time Uni­on Gen­er­al Sec­ret­ary Tre­vor Han­son says that private invest­ig­at­ors may be in favour of the plan as it will ensure an end­less income stream for them in the future, but it would not solve ship jump­ing.
