Filipino Crew Member of Amerigo Vespucci Returns Home After Captivity
A Filipino crewman from the Belgian vessel Amerigo Vespucci (IMO 8310645) has safely returned to the Philippines after enduring nearly three weeks in captivity in Cameroon. He arrived on October 4, 2010, aboard Cathay Pacific flight CX-901 from Hong Kong, landing shortly after 11 a.m. Family members and officials from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) were present to greet him at the airport. The crewman was taken hostage alongside a Croatian colleague during dredging operations off the coast of Cameroon on September 12, 2010, highlighting the risks maritime workers face in certain regions.
