Newlead Holdings says it remains in contact with the 18 seafarers aboard a stranded bitumen tanker and denies reports of another unpaid crew aboard a vessel at anchorage with Greece.
The 5,900-dwt Newlead Granadino (built 2009) has been at anchorage in Baltimore Harbor since 20 September due to engine problems. An inspection by the US Coast Guard (USCG) also discovered safety violations, leading to the vessel’s detention.
