India crew stuck aboard bulk carrier in Chinese waters sign off from Japan
A group of Indian sailors who were stuck in a cargo ship MV Anastasia in China will reach India on February 14, the Union Shipping Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Wednesday. The crew signed off from a nearby port in Japan.
Since September 20, the cargo vessel was stuck near Caofaedian Port and Chinese authorities did not permit the ship to either dock or change its crew citing Covid-19 related restrictions.
The crew, which were stuck on the ship for last five months, were allowed to sign off from the vessel. The 92,216 DWT bulk carrier was managed by MSC Ship Management, according to shipping industry sources. The owners of the Panama flagged ship, built at STX Dalian, are Greece-based Niki Shipping. The vessel is now anchored at Iwakuni Port, Japan.
