Circumstances
In August 2008 major engine problems caused the vessel to stop at the above port for repairs. Work ceased due to non-payment by the owner. On 24 December 2008 the owner informed the remaining crew that the company had gone bankrupt, would not pay the outstanding two months wages but would pay for repatriation. Three agreed to leave, one refused to go without payment of his outstanding wages.
