MARITIME Workers Union of Nigeria, MWUN, has sent food items and other materials to the 18-man foreign crew onboard MT ORYX TRADER vessel stranded for over three months at the Lagos Anchorage. The crew onboard is made up foreign nationals, with a Pakistani as its captain and an Ukrainian as chief officer. MWUN informed that the ship has been abandoned at the Lagos outside bar for three months due to ongoing dispute resolution with another vessel. Investigation confirmed that MWUN discovered that the seafarers ran out of food, medical supplies and other necessities and had sent a Save our Soul, SOS, message to the International Transport Workers Federation, ITF, which MWUN is affiliated to.
