An Indian court has ordered an arrested tanker to discharge its fuel oil cargo.
But the master of the 11,479-dwt Sol (built 2007) and his crew are following trade union legal advice by refusing to carry out any commercial operations until they are paid their back wages.
The ship is under arrest by multiple parties at the anchorage of Hazira port in Gujarat state, where its unpaid crew faces the threat of arrest for contempt of court.
