A couple of years ago I wrote a piece for @NWBylines about the problems of seafarer abandonment
see: https://northwestbylines.co.uk/business/is-seafarer-abandonment-an-isolated-problem/
And the problem continues as this report from The Observer reveals....
Seafarers are being abused with impunity by ship owners, and if you think the case at the centre of the Observer's piece is isolated; think again, this is major ongoing maritime problem!
