...εάν η διώρυγα έκανε σωστά την δουλειά της σίγουρα δεν θα υπήρχε το ατύχημα, και εν γένει , το ότι δεν υπάρχουν πολλά ατυχήματα οφείλεται εν πολλοίς στα πληρώματα, που τους βγαίνει η πίστη από την προσέγγιση μέχρι την αναχώρηση.
Επομένως, αφήστε τα περί ευθύνης και κράτησης του πληρώματος, το πιπίλισμα της καραμέλας ακόμα δεν τελείωσε? ε μην το βοηθάτε και οι απ έξω?? για τα λεφτά τα κάνουν όλα... ωραίο τραγούδι

The Indian crew of the giant boxship Ever Given are no longer
stuck in the lower section of the Suez Canal, but they could get stuck in Egypt
for a long time, according to the Times of India. It is possible that they may
face house arrest or even criminal charges in connection with the vessel's
grounding, which closed the canal for six days and disrupted billions of
dollars in trade.
"There is a clear danger that the crew will be
made scapegoats," an Indian shipping industry source told the
outlet.
The 25-member crew is in good health but stressed by
the experience of the grounding, according to the head of Indian seafarers'
union NUSI, Abdulgani Serang. "They are not alone and we will support them
whenever required in whatever manner required," Serang said.
The Egyptian government's lead investigator, Captain Sayed Sheasha, told
Reuters on Wednesday that the Ever Given's master has fully
cooperated with the inquiry.
The pressure on the investigation into the grounding is high. The chairman
of the Suez Canal Authority has estimated the total economic damages from the
casualty at about $1 billion, and affected shipping interests will be looking
to recoup their losses via insurance claims and litigation. Ever
Given's insurer, Lloyd's of London, is preparing for a "large
loss" in the range of $100 million. The Suez Canal is already back up to
full capacity and is running around the clock, but commercial disputes related
to the shutdown are expected to last for years.
The Ever Given herself appears to have been largely
spared. A dive inspection on Wednesday revealed a limited amount of damage to
her bow, but no other obvious signs of harm, according to the AP.
Precedent for seafarer detention
In Egypt, officers aboard detained vessels have
occasionally ended up under a status equivalent to house arrest, sometimes
for years, according to the International Transport Workers' Federation.
Mohammad Aisha - the chief mate of the seized container feeder Aman -
has been stuck on board his vessel
at an anchorage off Suez since 2017. For four years, an Egyptian court has
bound him to the ship as its designated "legal guard," and local
authorities have confiscated his passport. He has been alone on board for the
last 15 months, except for an occasional swim to shore for food and water,
according to the ITF.
Aisha is not the only mariner trapped in Egypt by a local court order. The
ITF is also attempting to win freedom for the captain of the freighter Kenan
Mete. Like Aisha, the master has been designated as his vessel's
"legal guard," and he has been forbidden to leave Egypt until the
ship's case is resolved or another guardian is appointed.
