Ship managers' group InterManager highlights 118 cases of seafarers' wrongful detention globally.

InterManager, a ship management trade group, is raising concerns over the unfair detention and criminalization of seafarers worldwide. The association is collecting data on these incidents, having identified 118 cases so far, and plans to share the information with the International Maritime Organization (IMO). They are calling on the shipping industry to contribute to their campaign to highlight the issue, as seafarers, especially senior officers, are often detained without proper legal grounds or representation.
