Body of the deceased Master of general cargo ship VANTAGE WAVE remains on board since his death on Apr 19, while the ship was en route from Paradip India to Guangzhou, China, with cargo of aluminium ingots. According to Human Rights at Sea, it was asked by Master’s family and insurer Gard on behalf of ship owner and crew, to assist in attracting attention to this outrageous case of unlawfulness and inhumanity. Captain died from cardiac attack or with symptoms of cardiac attack, with no symptoms of covid, or so it is said. The ship was rejected body disembarkation by nearly all regional countries: Singapore, Malaysia, S. Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Japan, including of course, China. The ship arrived at Hong Kong outer anchorage in early May, and as of morning Jun 15, remains anchored. Understood Chinese authorities aren’t allowing ship’s water and food supply, either.
Dead bodies fear, demonstrated by Asian countries in this case and in case of Italian Master of ITAL LIBERA container ship, is absolutely irrational. Some things sometimes go beyond any human conception of society, civilization and morals.
