New owners pay crew of stranded cargo ship in Newfoundland
New owners bought a cargo ship that was stranded at the port of Argentia in Newfoundland, along with its crewmembers, since August 4.
A statement from the Fish, Food and Allied Workers-Unifor union says eight Ukrainian and three Russian crewmembers on board the Jana have finally been paid.
Last month donations poured in after it was publicized that the sailors were low on water and food. They were owed about $160,000 in total after the ship's former owners filed for bankruptcy in Germany.
Gerard Bradbury with the International Transport Workers Federation says six of the men will fly home this week, and some of the crew have chosen to stay on the vessel to work for the new owners.
