abandonment

13 abandoned seafarers have made it home after more than 5 months aboard a livestock carrier ship, thanks to the intervention of the ITF.

The IMO Legal Committee LEG 110 discussed the alarming rise of ship-to-ship transfers and the dangers posed by tankers in the "dark fleet."

Seafarer abandonment cases are on the rise once again. Hence, the legal committee at the IMO put fixes in place to help the stranded crew.
