Crew contacted ITF for assistance. Informed the ITF that they were signed off by the shipowner in December 2003. They reported being forcibly removed from the ship although they held contracts running to May 2004. The seafarers were claiming two months wages. Reported that the shipowner had not provided funds since December 2003. Actions undertaken locally - case reported to the Maritime Labour Inspection, and the Labour Court.
