After eight months at anchor, a new charterer has paid wages to the 19 crew members on the 'Natig Aliyef'. The ship may now leave the Danish waters after having been morred more than seven months in Aalbæk Bay. The ship has been under arrest since February, The arrest was triggered by the Eiger Shipping - a subsidiary of the Lukzil oil giant Lukoil. Lukoil had chartered the 'Natig Aliyev' in 2015 and handed the ship to Palmali before the expiration of the agreed time. Eiger Shipping had paid bunkers fir the ship, and in addition had prepaid wages for the ship's crew for a limited period. Several of the 16 Russian and three Ukrainian crew members have not been paid since. With ITF as an intermediary, a new charterer of the ship has now paid out what amounts to 2.6 million Danish crowns, which the crew benefited.
