19 Russian crew members of the 'Natig Aliyev' which has been moored in Aalbæk Bay since February 7, 2018, have not been paid for five months
19 Russian crew members of the 'Natig Aliyev' which has been moored in Aalbæk Bay since February 7, 2018, have not been paid for five months. After the ship was arrested because of bank debts and unpaid wages for the crew, the ITF, together with Danish organizations, arranged for the crew to get food and drinks on board. Subsequently the crew was replaced, but now it turned out that the new crew also has not been paid. A pledge from the owner, Turkish shipman Palmali to pay the salary by July 17, was not respected and the crew was deeply frustrated. The company has now promised that the salary will be paid on Aug 1. The International Transport Workers' Union ITF is prepared to go into the case, but the crew is not yet prepared to give the trade union the power to act on behalf of the company, which is a prerequisite to go into the case.
