Circumstances
Seafarers have not been paid for 2 months since February 2018 and they have requested repatriation except Fitter. The ship is sold to other company quite soon and new crews are getting on board on 10 April 2018. Seafarers feel fear on being discharged from the ship without any salaries. Company is suspicious of Chief Engineer being involved in fuel and lubricating oil theft.
