The crew have been on board for 14-15 months. The owner has refused to pay four months outstanding wages and repatriation costs. After the crew requested help from the port authority the Captain (newly joined) has apparently, on the order of the owner, refused to allow them back on the vessel. As a result the crew have been housed in a shelter at the terminal since 10th March 2008.
