Unscrupulous cargo ship owners can abandon whole crews at sea if they run into money troubles.
One crew, stranded off the coast of Mombasa, Kenya, has been trapped at sea for 18 months.
The plight of the Ever Given focused attention on seafarers wellbeing in an often-shady industry.
Off the coast of Kenya, near Mombasa, sits the MV Jinan, laden with steel. The cargo ship has not moved for 18 months and neither has its 10 crew.
In October 2019, the Jinan s owner abandoned the ship, leaving the crew without pay or any means of subsistence. The crew, all from Syria, cannot enter Kenya without a visa, and are more than 6,000 miles from home.
