Captured on the Angelic Power ship at berth in China are 22 sailors, nine of whom are Greeks for 15 months.
As the Minister of Shipping and Island Policy, Giannis Plakiotakis, speaking at the First Program, the ship has been at berth in China since December 11, subject to a dispute between the charterer and the management company, there is an arrest warrant issued by a naval court for the particular ship. As he said, several sailors are on the ship for up to 17 months, so the situation is marginal, while some of them need immediate medical attention.
The minister noted that political intervention would be made by his counterparts in China to ensure that the sailors could be repatriated.
The ministry has already carried out the pandemic since the beginning more than 7,000 repatriations of Greek sailors from various parts of the world. However, as the minister underlined, in some cases repatriations are not possible, with the result that many crews have remained on board for more than a year.
According to the President of PENEN, Antonis Dalakogiorgos, the problem is located not only in the management companies but also in the banks, while it is important that the medication of some of the sailors who have health problems has ended, facing a serious problem.
