The "Tahsin" has been detained in Sharpness indefinitely after authorities found crew members living off sea water and out-of-date food. Described as having conditions close to ‘modern day slavery’, the ship has been prevented from sailing from Sharpness by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. Maritime officials found failings with navigation equipment, invalid employment contracts, non-payment of wages, damage to cargo and expired licenses. They also found that there had been no potable water on the cargo ship for over ten days - and the crew had been living on sea water. The ship has been berthed at the docks on the river Severn near Berkeley, since May 31, 2017. It will not be going anywhere until its long list of problems is resolved.
