Embattled Vietnam shipping firm debts leave 20 crew hostage in Pakistan

Vietnam latest news - Thanh Nien Daily | Embattled Vietnam shipping firm debts leave 20 crew hostage in Pakistan: The crew of a ship belonging to troubled state shipper Vinalines has been held in Pakistan for the last two months since the company owes money to its partners in that country.

In emails to Vietnamese newspapers, the men said they are running out of food and fuel after being stuck at Karachi port since early November and their passports were seized.

The New Horizon, owned by Vinashinlines, a subsidiary of Vinalines, left northern Vietnam in early July and went to several other countries before arriving in Pakistan.

They have also sent many emails to the company, but to no avail. They are not allowed to enter the port any more.
