MSC calls for urgent crew change for bulk carrier Anastasia

MSC has called for an urgent crew change solution for the bulk carrier Anastasia, which is stuck off the coast of northern China.

China has prohibited crew changes at Chinese ports due to COVID-19 and Anastasia is among dozens of vessels in a waiting line near the port of Caofeidian.

MSC, as the technical operator of the ship, has repeatedly requested that the seafarers onboard should be relieved to return home to their families.
