Wednesday, October 22, 2014 Cargo ship crew stranded and low on foodEleven crewmembers of German cargo ship Jana, which has been stranded in an Eastern Newfoundland port have not been paid for four months, a union official says. The Jana has been tied up in Argentia since it had engine problems about a month ago, according to Gerard Bradbury, who works with the International Transport Workers Federation. "The problem is now is they have no fresh fruit, bread, milk or so forth aboard the ship. That's a concern right now," said Bradbury, whose union is trying to assist the crew. He said they have been told that they will get their money this week. The crew of three Russians and eight Ukrainians are together owed about $130,000 in back wages, Bradbury said. The Jana has been berthing at different ports in recent months, since its owners went into receivership.
