Circumstances
Crew are owed 2 months wages, are low on fuel and provisions and have no fresh drinking water. They are being forced to drink the water that comes out of the air conditioning unit. Vessel is a very bad state and is certainly substandard.
Some of the employment contracts show the name of the vessel as MURU but with a completely different IMO number, and some contracts show a different vessel name altogether.
