A suezmax crew owed wages and enduring food and water shortages have been told that the mariners must be patient during the coronavirus crisis.
Indian seafarers on board the 151,000-dwt Gulf Sky (built 1998) said they have not been paid for three months while anchored at Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
They contacted UK charity Human Rights at Sea (HRAS) to highlight their plight.
