What Crew Members Say About Daniel-24

The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) has recently raised an alarming report regarding the vessel NURAY, identified by IMO number 7520712, which has been abandoned. The ship, flying the flag of Togo, was docked in Conakry, Guinea, where it has come to the attention of maritime monitoring bodies due to severe crew welfare issues. Currently, the ten seafarers aboard the NURAY, consisting of individuals from Lebanon and Syria, have reported that they have not received their wages for four months. This distressing situation underscores ongoing issues within the maritime industry concerning crew rights and protections. The case was officially logged with the ITF on August 1, 2024, and remains open as authorities work to address the plight of the stranded seafarers. The ITF Seafarers abandonment list serves as a vital resource in tracking these critical cases of crew abandonment in order to advocate for better treatment and safety for maritime workers around the globe.
