GCaptain: ITF Accuses Dubai Company of Abandoning Over 100 Seafarers
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) has accused Dubai-based Middle East Marine LLC of systematic abuse and neglect of over 100 seafarers, calling the situation “the worst case of serial seafarer abandonment ever seen” and a stain on the global maritime industry.
The ITF has urged the United Arab Emirates Government and the Palau maritime authorities to intervene, uphold international maritime and human rights law, and alleviate the plight of these seafarers.
