The last four seafarers aboard a NewLead Holdings-owned panamax abandoned the ship this weekend despite efforts from the Malaysia sheriff in charge of the vessel's arrest to keep a crew aboard, according to a source familiar with the issue. The crew remains uncertain as to who is responsible for them amid three arrest warrants issued against the vessel.
The four crew members, one Greek and three Romanians, were the last aboard the 75,966-dwt Newlead Victoria (built 2002), which has been under arrest off the coast of Singapore since 26 November.
