Five crew members on an anchor-handler in Mozambique claim they have not been paid for almost a year by the ship’s owner.
The owner of the 736-gt Amsol (built 1984) is a mystery. But in an interview with Mozambique’s O Pais newspaper, the mariners described it as being from the Middle East and having Iranian connections.
The crew, who come from Iran, Syria, India and Bangladesh, claimed that they were only managing to survive because of assistance provided by the police.
