Act on seafarer crew changes to avert humanitarian crisis.
Governments need to urgently act to ensure ships crew changeovers can take place to keep world trade flowing and avert a humanitarian and ship safety crisis, IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has told Member State representatives. "We are on the verge of a humanitarian crisis and a real safety issue - we cannot expect seafarers currently on ships to stay at sea forever. It is the responsibility of Governments to allow shipping to continue moving, and for seafarers to return to their homes, or get to their ships to begin work," Mr. Lim said during a virtual meeting organized by IMO (9 June) to brief permanent representatives and liaison officers from IMO Member States.Posted On:13-Jun-2020

87 ship crew members fly home to India from Singapore on chartered plane after being stranded at sea.
Chief engineer Awadhesh Prasad was looking forward to going home to India after his four-month contract with shipping company Executive Ship Management ended.
But the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic scuppered his plans as borders were closed, and he and the crew of the Crimson Monarch could not disembark from the bulk carrier.
This meant that Mr Prasad, 54, could not return home to Ranchi, capital city of eastern Jharkand, in February as planned.Posted On:13-Jun-2020

Over 650 Indians stranded at Southampton.
Over 650 Indian crew members , including 260 from Mumbai, have been stranded in Southampton in the United Kingdom since March. This is the same port from where the tragic voyage of the Titanic had started over 100 years ago.
They said their hope for repatriation has become an unlikely mirage. “We have heard about many crew members (from other ships) who have been unable to cope up with the depression and are committing suicide,” says Rajesh Gawde, who works on board the Explorer, a ship owned by UK company Marella Cruise.Posted On:13-Jun-2020
