A hunger strike held by four crew members on an abandoned Palmali Shipping tanker has ended after a Lebanese court allowed their repatriation to Azerbaijan.
The 7,000-dwt product tanker Captain Nagdaliyev (built 2011) was reported abandoned at Beirut on 13 March 2020. The captain and three other crew members had gone unpaid since and been dependent on the help of the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) for fuel, food and water.
