“It is not clear how long the ships will be detained in Romania. The seamen’s biggest problem is they have no way to make a living,” Krasimir Petrov, owner of the ships said, and went on to complain that without adequate interpreters, having been detained for 48 hours in Romania, the sailors were given protocols in Romanian to sign, by force of which they state they accept the charges brought against them.
