An Indian ship with 23 crew members on board has been allowed to leave China’s Jingtang port after unsuccessfully waiting for more than six months for clearance to offload its cargo, Great Eastern Shipping Co. Ltd., which operates the ship, said.
The bulk carrier is set to leave for Japan’s Chiba port today, where Mumbai-based Great Eastern’s back-up crew has been waiting to take over, the company’s spokeswoman Anjali Kumar said by phone. Arrangements have been made for the stranded seafarers to fly back to India, she said.
