Tomini Majesty crew threaten hunger strike over crew change delays
The 21 Ukrainian crew of bulk carrier Tomini Majesty threatened to go on a hunger strike after being trapped on the vessel for at least a year. The crew members of the ship, which is currently being repaired in China, had blocked passage to the engine room to prevent yard workers from continuing their repair work
Tomini Shipping says that the strike did not go ahead as they have reconfirmed to the crew that they would sign them off in South Korea after the dry docking in China is finished. It said the company had not been able to facilitate crew changeovers as no foreign crew sign-off was allowed in China
