Unpaid crew stranded in Zonguldak without supplies

On Jan 18, 2017, the "Aydemir" arrived at Zonguldak, coming from Illichivsk, in a state of emergency.

The vessel ran out of fuel and supplies, and the crew hasn’t been paid for three months.

The 24 crew members decided to stay on board until they have got their money, notwithstanding almost inhabitable conditions with no food, no water, and no fuel for heating.
