India Coordinates with Russia on Repatriation of Crew from Detained Unity Tanker
India is coordinating with the Russian Embassy to repatriate Russian crew members aboard the Cameroon-flagged oil tanker Unity, detained near Paradip Port, Odisha, since May. The vessel was arrested following an Odisha High Court order over alleged unpaid bunker fuel dues exceeding Rs 4 crore. The tanker remains anchored about 10 km off Paradip, with the International Labour Organization listing the case as unresolved seafarer abandonment involving outstanding wages and expired contracts. India is taking steps to address crew welfare and repatriation.
