Amritsar: A ship, which had got struck along with its 39 crew members, for the last several months off the shores of Mumbai port, has not been provided with fuel, provisions or any means of safe exit by the owning company, a human rights organisation alleged on Saturday.
"The ship, Kamal XXXVI, owned by Jaisu Shipping Co Pvt Ltd, with the 31 Indian crew members and eight from Ukraine on board, had got struck three nautical miles off Mumbai port near Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust for the last five months and not been provided by provisions, medical help by the company," Secretary General, Akhil Bharatiya Human Rights Organisation (ABHRO), HS Tanwar told reporters in Amritsar.
He claimed that there is a total blackout on the vessel, with its crews surviving on noodles and pasta and their health conditions are deteriorating. The ship can also sink in harsh weather as it is without power and maneuvering capacity, Tanwar said. The office of the shipping company also stopped communications with the crew stuck onboard, the ABHRO official added.
