Mutiny on board of PSV Harmony 1, Dubai Dubai port authorities backing the mutineers The crew of Harmony 1 contacted Maritime Bulletin and described situation in detail. Crew also asked MB to publish a letter addressed to the shipowner. 15 crew consists of 1 Georgian, 5 Filipinos, 5 Indians, 1 Russian and 3 Ukrainians. According to crew’s report, vessel is in good order, crew carries out watch and maintenance in accordance with regulations and sea practice, PSC inspection on Aug 25 didn’t find any deficiencies. Crew rejected to take vessel out from port as ordered by owner, that’s the only disobedience they committed. If it may be called a mutiny, then that’s what it is. Crew was advised not to leave the berth by port authorities, who’re obviously supporting the crew in its’ fight for unpaid wages and fulfillment of all obligations towards them according to their contracts. Authorities said they won’t be able to help crew once the vessel leaves UAE waters. Crew called the owner a liar after reading owner’s letter published in MB yesterday. Seafarers specifically expressed that term – owner is a liar. Seafarers ask for their own according to contracts, no more, but sternly no less. Yes, the owner offered them immediate settlement of outstanding wages for 2 months, which would leave unpaid June and July wages. It’s not what people want. They want immediate settlement of all outstanding wages for 4 months, and repatriation, because their contracts already run out. They don’t want to work for this company any more.
