DG Shipping Bans Honduras Certificates Amid Fraud Allegations

Imagine you need a special license to work on a ship, like a driver's license for boats.

Some people were selling fake licenses from places like Honduras, without proper training.

The government is now stopping ship owners from hiring people with these fake licenses because it's unsafe and unfair.

This also prevents sailors from being tricked and left stranded.

Some unions worry this might cause job losses, but the government says sailors can still work with proper licenses.

The government is also taking action against the people selling the fake licenses and helping the sailors get legitimate certifications.
