Seafarers are contemplating arresting ship, however there is no definitive time frame for resolution if this route is taken. A local maritime lawyer was consulted. Also they need money to do this. Seafarers have been promised tickets by owner, and have been advised by Registrar of Seafarers to begin thinking about getting home as they cannot remain in the country indefinitely. However they are reluctant to leave vessel as they are worried that they will not receive salaries if they go home.
