Around 8,000 sailors stranded abroad, talks on with MHA: Goa CM - Outlook India
Around 8,000 sailors stranded abroad, talks on with MHA: Goa CM

Panaji, March 31 (IANS) One of the biggest issues concerning Goa amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis is that nearly 7,000 to 8,000 Goan sailors are stranded in different ports-of-call and ships across the world, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant said on Tuesday.

He said that he had already spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the issue and said that modalities about how to tackle the issue are yet to be worked out in absence of a concrete decision.

"Seafarers is one of the biggest issues. I am concerned about them. There are around 7,000 to 8,000 Goan sailors abroad. I spoke to the Home Minister about how to get them back and where to quarantine (once they return)," Sawant said at a press conference.

The sailors have been unable to return to Goa on account of the shutdown of international travel because of the Covid-19 crisis.

"Till now, a decision has not been made. Many parents, guardians, they are writing to me and sending me messages by WhatsApp, but we cannot write to everyone personally," the Chief Minister said, that a decision on the issue would be arrived at in a couple of days.

He also said, that the state government was also communicating with the Ministry for External Affairs, through the Goa government s Non Resident Commission, an agency which liaises with the Goan expat community as well as sailors of Goan origin.

IMO raises concern on seafarers safety as ships are denied entry - Business Daily
The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) is concerned on the safety of seafarers at the sea as countries continue to deny ships entry to ports due to Covid-19 pandemic.

The organisation says the flow of commerce by sea should not be unnecessarily disrupted due to the global Covid-19 pandemic.

The disease has so far claimed more than 9,800 lives globally with more than 232,650 cases in 158 countries and territories.

Several cruise ships have been stranded at sea after they were denied entry to ports due to confirmed coronavirus cases in the vessels.

Countries have also closed its borders to avert the spread of the disease. This has left thousands of cruise ship passengers stranded on the high seas while their vessels seek a port at which to dock.

�We all rely on seafarers. Now, more than ever, they rely on us�: Sailors� Society launches COVID-19 resources and appeal - Hellenic Shipping News Worldwide
International maritime welfare charity Sailors’ Society has launched a suite of practical resources including advice, contacts and podcasts to help seafarers during the coronavirus crisis.

The organisation, which has stood beside seafarers through many dark times during its 202-year history, including two world wars, has also set up an appeal to fund urgent support for our key workers of the sea.

In the past few days, seafarers from all over the world have joined a special Facebook group set up by the charity to share news, tips and words of encouragement.

Shipping companies have also contacted Sailors’ Society, known globally for its award-winning wellness at sea programme, asking for help in supporting crews through the pandemic.

Sandra Welch, the charity’s COO and director of programme, said: “We may not be able to greet seafarers in port right now, but we are here for them and their families as we always have been. Seafarers are deeply worried like everyone else and far from home and loved ones; many do not now know when or how they will get home again. While the rest of us struggle with suddenly only being able to see our family and friends on a video call, this is the reality for seafarers every day. And images of empty supermarket shelves are a stark reminder of how vital these men and women are to our supply chains, bringing almost everything we need by sea.

“Now they need support from us. Please share our resources with crews, partner with us to support seafarers through these turbulent months or give to our appeal enabling us to divert the full resources of the charity to help seafarers who are under immense mental and emotional strain, sick or, with many ports on lockdown, unsure when they will next work.

Maritime Unions and Charities Step Up to Help Seafarers Through the Crisis - Latest industry shipping news from - The Handy Shipping Guide
WORLDWIDE – As the world faces up to the pandemic the very people upon who we all depend for our essential supplies, those working at sea to keep society fed, are often to be found in dire straits themselves. Now unions and charities are striving to support seafarers and their families.

Firstly, the ITF Seafarers’ Trust (ITFST) is launching an emergency fund to address the impact of the virus and aims also to provide a lifeline for welfare services at risk due to the financial impact the virus has had on business and fundraising and activities. The ITFST Covid-19 Welfare Fund has two main purposes:

to facilitate fast grant payments for specific projects to alleviate hardship, stress and isolation of seafarers and their families
to provide funds for the maintenance of seafarers’ welfare services during the period of instability caused by Covid-19 and the measures taken to combat the virus
The Trust says it is working closely with the TK Foundation to ensure a coordinated approach to funding and a swift response to the multiplicity of issues arising from the impact of the virus on global trade and the maritime community. The TK Foundation is a private foundation supporting non-profit maritime and youth programs. Dave Heindel, Chair of the ITF Seafarers’ Trust said:

“At the best of times seafarers struggle to get recognition for the amazing job they do ensuring the steady flow of household goods, food and commodities around the world. Now they have the incredible stress of being stranded far away from their families at a time of extreme distress. It is critically important that the ITF Seafarers’ Trust is there for them at this time of need.”

Outlook For India s Ship-Breaking Turns Negative - MarineLink
The outlook for India s ship-breaking industry has turned negative amid volatile scrap prices and a falling rupee, says ICRA.

The country s ship-breaking activity, while tepid during CY2019 due to subdued demand and depressed scrap prices, gathered momentum at the start of CY2020 following the implementation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) sulphur cap regulations from January 2020. But weakness in the international shipping markets further aggravated by the coronavirus has since dampened sentiments. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only exacerbated the freight market but has also placed restrictions on vessels coming in and out of virus hit nations, as well as the trade routes; and deliveries in the region, thus adding to ship owners and buyers’ woes.
