Six of the ship’s eight crew members left the vessel because food and fuel were nearly depleted. After going ashore, they were met by ship agency representatives, alerted by the ITF inspector and placed in a hotel. They later returned to Venezuela, paying for their own flights, only hotel and immigration expenses were covered by the ship’s agent. The two remaining crew members situation is unknown.
