Chemical / Oil Products Tanker Green Land.
SOS successfully came to the rescue of 28 seafarers onboard abandoned St Kitts and Nevis chemical / oil products tanker, Green Land, after the vessel was arrested in Singapore on Apr 17.
SOS coordinated with MPA to investigate the situation and assisted the crew in securing their repatriation and the recovery of their unpaid wages amounting to US$154,000.
A crew member warmly escorts VP Mohamad to the shore—a gesture of appreciation for his steadfast support.
SOS Vice President Mohamad Abu Bakar, who was involved in the assistance, said seafarers are often hesitant about speaking up and reporting their employers over issues such as delayed wages as they fear being blacklisted, which could affect their future employment and income.
“We hope to bring the matter to light so that the growing awareness can help seafarers claim their rights should they encounter similar incidents in future.”
Smiles all around as the crew celebrates the successful resolution with VP Mohamad.
