Working Conditions Aboard the Yu-Feng

The vessel YU FENG, flying the flag of Tanzania and bearing IMO number 9031856, has been officially marked as abandoned according to a report submitted to the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF). This concerning situation unfolded off the coast of Incheon, Korea, where the ship has left its crew stranded. Currently, there are 11 seafarers on board, predominantly from China and Myanmar, who have gone without pay for over four months. The ITF received this report on July 3, 2026, and the case remains open as efforts to resolve the abandonment are underway. This incident underscores the critical issue of seafarer abandonment being recorded in the ITF's ongoing monitoring of such cases globally.
