Indian crew of ship stuck in Suez Canal in ‘good health’, fears of legal action abound

The 25 Indian crew members aboard the ‘Ever Given’ are in good health. However, there are concerns about legal action that the crew may face post an investigation into the incident.

The 25 crew members, all Indian, aboard the massive ‘Ever Given’ container ship that blocked the Suez Canal for a week are in “good health” and “won’t be replaced for now”, authorities said on Wednesday. The crew had been stranded since March 23 when the cargo vessel, now re-floated, got stuck in a narrow stretch of the Suez Canal in Egypt.
