Cargo Ship Owners Disappear & Leave Their Crews Unpaid & Starving. 10 Sailors Have Been Stranded Off Kenyan Coast For 18 Months.

[Ndindu]

Off the coast of Kenya, near Mombasa, sits the MV Jinan, laden with steel. The cargo ship has not moved for 18 months and neither has its 10 crew.
In October 2019, the Jinan’s owner abandoned the ship, leaving the crew without pay or any means of subsistence. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]The crew, all from Syria, cannot enter Kenya without a visa, and are more than 6,000 miles from home.

They have spent the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic stuck, with little contact from the outside world.
The Jinan is one of hundreds of cargo ships abandoned by their owners over the last two decades. Abandonment is defined by the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) as when an owner cuts ties with the ship, or otherwise fails to pay a crew’s salary or get them home.

Cargo ship owners can disappear and leave their crews unpaid and starving. 10 mariners have been stranded off Kenya for 18 months.

Visa sidhani watahitaji ya kurudi kwao. Maybe ya kuingia Kenya so that they are allowed to go to the airport.

The crew have to prove to a court of a law they have been abandoned.The owners of the steel are comparable
