Crew Of MV Anastasia Stranded At Chinese Port Gets Permission To Return To India February 5, 2021 After much negotiations, China has finally agreed to release the crew of MV Anastasia who was stranded at the Caofeidian port of China because the Chinese officials denied permission for the unloading of the Australian coal cargo carried by the vessel.

Western Marine fails to build ship, now sued by Dubai co Al Rashid Shipping files an admiralty suit demanding a refund of nearly $5m Mehedi Al Amin The Business Standard 06 February, 2021 Photo/Courtesy Western Marine Shipyard’s deal with the Dubai-based company Al Rashid Shipping Ltd could have been a testament to Bangladesh’s craftsmanship – with three made-in-Bangladesh vessels carrying the UAE flag traversing the seas and delivering goods across the globe. But, instead, the deal signed in 2018 ended up in a very expensive lawsuit. Al Rashid Shipping filed an admiralty suit against Western Marine, demanding a refund of around $5 million and accusing the Bangladeshi shipyard of missing its delivery deadline.In a petition submitted to the High Court in June last year, Al Rashid Shipping stated that the demanded sum included payments made so far, expenses incurred, loss of profit, interest, and legal expenses.

Colombo Port: For an independent movement of the working class to fight the privatisation of Colombo Port! Oppose anti-Indian campaign! Fight for a socialist program!...

World Socialist Web Site 5 February 2021 Statement of the Socialist Equality Party (Sri Lanka)The Sri Lankan government announced on Monday that it will “develop” the Colombo Port’s Eastern Container Terminal (ECT) under the Ports Authority, reneging on an earlier agreement with India and Japan to run the terminal as a joint venture. The government, in an attempt to appease India, has offered to develop the port’s western terminal as a privately-owned facility. President Gotabhaya Rajapakse’s cabinet took the decision in response to agitation by the port unions, which lined up with Sinhala-Buddhist extremists, to demand the terminal not be sold to India. The unions’ virulent anti-Indian campaign was launched to divide workers’ opposition to privatisation and pit them against their class brothers and sisters in India.

Rogue Captain’s Mid-Ocean Detour Tips Investors to Humanitarian Crisis at Sea Photo: By Anatoly Menzhiliy / Shutterstock Bloomberg February 1, 2021 By Alastair Marsh (Bloomberg) — Terence Tsai started hearing about the growing labor crisis in shipping in a roundabout way. First, in March, an official at a ship management company in Hong Kong let slip that a captain had purposefully diverted a vessel under its control into the middle of the ocean to protest the treatment of himself and his crew. Then, from the head of a large Asian shipping company, Tsai heard about a captain who wanted to attend his son’s funeral in Eastern Europe. It took more than two months and a mountain of paperwork to surmount Covid-era port restrictions and travel complications to get him on a flight back home. As the stories started piling up, Tsai, a shipping industry analyst at London-based Fidelity International, began to realize he was getting...

So a crisis continues.Container, ore and oil storage at Rotterdam Port in the Netherlands (Frans Lemmens/Getty Images)Published 3 Feb 2021 12:00 0 Comments When a business manager is willing to spend US$200,000 to send home five employees whose contracts have expired and bring five colleagues to replace them on the spot, later telling a reporter the cost was the least of their worries, you can be sure a crisis is involved. In this case, it is on the open sea, far away from the eyes of the world. But the victims of this tragedy also happen to be the people who move 90% of world trade – bringing food, medicine, fuel and other necessitites where they are demanded.

Over 300 Entities Sign Declaration to Help Resolve the Crew Change Crisis at Sea – gCaptain Photo: UNCTAD January 25, 2021 More than 300 companies and organizations from around the world are throwing their support behind efforts to resolve the ongoing crew change crisis by signing the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, hundreds of thousands of seafarers from across the globe have been left stranded working aboard ships beyond the expiration of their initial contracts and are unable to be relieved. This crisis has escalated to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis as seafarers suffer the consequences of long periods at sea, such as fatigue and an overall decrease in physical and mental wellbeing. It also increases the risk of maritime incidents and environmental disasters, and poses a threat to the integrity of maritime supply chains, which carry 90% of global trade....

Coronavirus: Seafarers stuck at sea ‘a humanitarian crisis’ BBC Jonathan Josephs & Mary-Ann Russon – Business reporters, BBC News January 25, 2021 The fate of more than 200,000 seafarers who play a crucial role in keeping global trade flowing is being labelled a “humanitarian crisis at sea”. More than 300 firms and organisations are urging for them to be treated as “key workers”, so they can return home without risking public health. More than 90% of global trade – from household goods to medical supplies – is moved by sea. But governments have banned crew from coming ashore amid Covid-19 fears. Large firms including shipping titan AP Moller-Maersk, oil firms BP and Shell, consumer giant Unilever and mining groups Rio Tinto and Vale, as well as maritime transporters, unions, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other supply chain partners have signed the Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew...
