Here is both a BBC news story about the plight of seafarers on this rusty hulks, where they have been abandoned, often having received no pay, and unable to either leave the ship or get home... and the piece I wrote for @NWBylines exploring this issue 18 months agp.

@ChrisMayLA6 @NWBylines I imagine the global pressure on sanctions is contributing to this.
If we want to avoid some environmental disasters, and ensure the sailors’ welfare, a tiny surcharge on the reinsurance market should provide the funding to do so. Although that will probably increase abandonments, that shouldn’t be an argument against doing the right thing. -
