NEW DELHI: The All India Seafarers’ Union has sent urgent missives to the directorate general of shipping and German ship management company Bernhard Schulte Ship Management (BSM) after giant container ship Ever Given, with 25 Indian crew members on board, was disallowed by the Egyptian authorities to leave the Suez Canal until the owners of the ship pay up $1 billion in compensation for the canal blockage last month. The union demanded that the “Indian crew should be safe and sound, and well-treated by the Egyptian authorities”.
The Panama-registered cargo vessel owned by Japanese shipping company Shoei Kisen Kaisha has three crew members from Mumbai and mostly from southern states like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. The 2 lakh-tonne cargo vessel, which ran aground at the Suez Canal on March 23 for over a week, is still stuck in Egypt’s Great Bitter Lake as it has not been allowed to leave.
