Happy time at last for unpaid crew
Print Edition
BACK pay, totaling US$110,000, owed to the foreign crew of an oil tanker has been paid after Shanghai Maritime Court intervened, the court announced yesterday.
The five crew, three from India and two from Bangladesh, had not been paid since February. Their captain Munir Hason said their employer, India-based Varun Asia Pte Ltd, had been “out of contact.”
They turned to Shanghai Maritime Court in September, when the tanker berthed at Changxing Island Port and received financial help for their daily necessities, Hason said.
After about seven weeks, the court found the shipowner who later promised to pay crew members what they were owed and offered a further US$5,000 as compensation. In turn, the crew dropped a proposed lawsuit and the court released the ship, which had been seized at the port.
On Tuesday, the five received their salaries and the compensation. An Indian consular official thanked the court.
