We have had several reports of crew abandonment in another thread earlier: [Abandonment of sailors](http://forum.gcaptain.com/t/abandonment-of-sailors/15115)

This problem is not going away, even if there are efforts to alleviate the problems by charitable organisations and official bodies.

Here is a new case coming to light as reported in Splash 24/7 today: [http://splash247.com/alco-shipping-disputes-crew-abandonment-claims/](http://splash247.com/alco-shipping-disputes-crew-abandonment-claims/)
