Crew refuses to sail over
wage row THE crew of an Indonesian cargo ship is refusing to leave a
port in claimed to amount to $300,000. All the 22 crew members of
the Maznah are
Indonesians. Capt Silas Zola Makalew says they have not been paid since May. The ship
was arrested in June following a court order obtained by a Singapore-based bunker supplier who claimed
he had not been paid $100,000. The ship, which is anchored off Tawau port, had arrived to pick up a
timber consignment for Kinabalu High Court lifted the order last month when the
owner paid for the bunkers. The owner and operator is believed to be Bosowa Lloyd in comment. The Malaysian Trades Union Congress has been
negotiating with both parties. The owner has offered to pay a month’s salary, but the crew is insisting
on being paid the full amount, union official Bala Subramaniam told Fairplay today. DAILY COLLECTION OF
