In Krasnodar Territory, ship-owner company promised to pay debts to seamen hungerstriking in Eysk

The company, which fails to pay salaries to the crew of the Russian ship "Artemida", now in the Krasnodar Territory at the ship-repair works in the city of Eysk, promised to settle, before April 26, the conflict with the seamen who have announced a hunger strike.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" informed that the members of the crew of the broken tanker "Artemida" which is now in Eysk, have announced a partial nutrition from food in protest against protraction of paying salary from November 2008. The seamen have also addressed the transport militia.

"We're no less interested in eliminating the incident and restarting the work of the ship than the crew. We hope to do it till the end of this week," the "Kommersant" quotes the message of the ship owning company.

For several weeks, the seamen were eating fish only, which they caught themselves and cooked on a fire made on the deck of the tanker.

Tanker "Artemida", rented from the LLC "Informa" (St-Petersburg), belongs to the Petersburg-based company "Alpha-Marin". In the Krasnodar Territory, the advocates now defending the interests of the seamen, have already dealt with this company, whose ships were repeatedly arrested, as reported by Alexander Ageev, deputy chair of the Russian Trade Union of Seamen, as quoted by the "Vesti".

Now, when the crew of "Artemida" managed to draw public attention to their problems, the seamen hope to receive their debts. At the same time, now there are four tankers in the port of Eysk, where crews get no salaries for several months already; and many are ready to follow the "Artemida" and announce a hunger strike.
