Goan Seamen Association of India (GSAI) spokesman Dixon Vaz has said the Indian crew stranded on the Japanese ship will most likely arrive in New Delhi on February 26 by a chartered flight.
In a statement, Dixon stated that all the crew will be quarantined for around 14 days and will be given treatment after which they will return to their respective states upon clearance by doctors.
“According to the head office of the company, only the seamen who opted to disembark will be flown home and many seamen have volunteered to stay back and continue the remaining period of their contract. Currently, the ship has no guests and is being cleaned and sanitized. The crew members on board are being monitored on a daily basis,” he said, adding that the company has also promised to pay two months of extra salary to all the crew who were on board during
this period.
