U.S. Marshals seized a ship at the Port of Sacramento and detained its crew over an unpaid $400,000 fuel payment.
SACRAMENTO â The Hong Kong-based China Spirit is stuck at the port in West Sacramento under arrest. Its Chinese crew of 21 is not allowed to leave the ship. The ship was seized on October 18. I spoke to the captain who was only allowed to go as far as the end of the gangplank. He said he was warned by the ship owner that the ship could be seized as he was arriving from his last port in Ecuador. Tim Campbell is the president of International Longshore Warehouse Union Local 18.
'To make sure the crew on the ship is being treated fair and safe, make sure they have food stores, make sure their wages are being paid correctly and on time.' The ship seizure stems from a lawsuit filed in federal court. A judge approved the arrest warrant of the ship over claims filed against the ship owner and a separate company alleging a failure to pay $408,000 for fuel at a port in The United Arab Emirates.
