Ever since Egyptian authorities seized Ever Given, the massive container ship that notoriously blocked the Suez Canal for almost a week and demanded hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation from its owners, the world has forgotten about the vessel and its crew. But as the ship is moored on the side of Great Bitter Lake in the middle of the Suez Canal for nearly a month. New concerns mount that Ever Given s owners might be unwilling to pay the court-ordered fine, which could strand the vessel for months if not years.
According to The Guardian, crew members trapped on commercial vessels involved in international disputes are not uncommon. The British newspaper details the fate of one sailor who s been trapped on an abandoned container ship moored off the Gulf of Suez for two years.
Seafarer Mohammad Aisha is going home thanks to ITF, ending four years on abandoned ship 22 Apr 2021 Press Release
Seafarer Mohammad Aisha is tonight boarding an airplane to return to his native Syria, ending a four-year battle where he was forced to live on an abandoned ship in the Suez Canal while the vessel waited to be sold.
Mr Aisha is free because the ITF offered to have one of its union representatives in Egypt take Mr Aisha’s place and become the legal guardian of the vessel.
Mr Aisha was the chief officer onboard the Bharani-flagged
MV Aman (IMO 9215517) for just two months before the vessel was detained by Egyptian authorities due to expired safety equipment certificates.
This has been one of the most frustrating abandonment cases I have worked on, because the situation has been so desperate for Mohammad for so long, said International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) Arab World and Iran network coordinator Mohamed Arrachedi. It has to be said that the suffering caused to Mohammad could have been perfectly avoided if the shipowner and the other parties with obligations to him and the ship did the right thing from the start. So much has changed in the last four years. Mohamed’s home in Syria could be unrecognisable. Some of his family died years ago. The delays mean he will never see his mother again, and that is terribly sad.
