Circumstances
On joining, crew found out that the vessel had been at anchor for 3 years. No salary for 10 months, no air-con on board. Limited food, rusty water. Company refuses to sign the crew off. It would also appear that crew had to pay to obtain the work. Same owner as Qaaswa and Al Sharjah Moon.
Updates

When the crew joined the vessel it had been anchored for three years. Probably vessel is out of class. Company ignores to contact the ITF.however, in case of Qaaswa the company did reply once the ship was arrested.
