Eleen-Armonia

The crew of the 'Eleen Armonia' has been stranded in the port of Onne since June 27, 2025 without receiving salaries. Many contracts have already expired, but the owner of the bulk carrier, the Bulgaria-based Eleen Marine., has refused to arrange repatriation or crew change. Despite repeated complaints filed with the Liberian Registry, the Nigerian Maritime Union, and the vessel’s P&I insurer, no action has been taken. The crew remains onboard in increasingly difficult conditions, without income and with uncertainty about when they will be paid or allowed to return home, and their mental health was at a critical level without a clear information about when this situation will end. The seafarers were urgently calling on the the Liberian Registry, ITF, and the Nigerian Port State Control to ensure payment of outstanding wages and safe repatriation. The situation may constitute a violation of the Maritime Labour Convention, which guarantees the timely payment of wages and repatriation of seafarers.

The crew of the 'Eleen Armonia', en route from Port Klang to Durban, has rescued 34 crew members of the burning fishing vessel 'Hasil Abadi 28', 224 gt, about 800 kilometres off the coast of Sri Lanka on Feb 26, 2025. The crew had issued a distress call after the stern of their ship caught fire. The crew of the bulk carrier noticed thick smoke clouds rising on the horizon. Upon receiving a distress signal from another passing cargo ship, the master Todor Todorov diverted to the scene and approached the charred, drifting wreck with the crew in desperate need of rescue. They had huddled together at the bow and were waving frantically for help when the bulk carrier approached. It pulled alngside, and the crew employed their hoses to try to put out the flames and salvage whatever they could from the vessel. After a few hours, the fire was extinguished, and all fishermen were rescued. They did not even have life jackets. The Bulgarian shipping company has established contact with the owner of the fishing vessel. It turned out that they have three other fishing vessels nearby, and vessels have been sent to pick up the castaways, who will then be returned to their homeland Indonesia.
