Seafarers' body Maritime Union Of India (MUI) on Wednesday said it has helped an Indian seafarer return from Libya where he was stuck at a port after the owners ceased operations of the vessel. The seafarer, Roshan Raj, spent 19 months on the ship in breach of Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. He was abandoned at the Misrata Port in Libya for nine months, the MUI claimed in a statement. "Raj faced a tough time on board, going through mental stress as he was not paid the full salary. Moreover, the ship owners did not provide any co-operation to sign off.
