After being detained on a ship off the Chinese coast for seven months, 23 Indian seafarers can now return home. The seafarers wanted to deliver Australian coal to China on the Indian ship "Jag Anand"
when they got caught between the front lines of a conflict between Australia and China, said the Indian Seafarers' Union's general secretary, Abdulgani Serang.
Canberra banned the Chinese telecom operator Huawei from setting up a 5G network in Australia and Beijing in return imposed a trade embargo on key Australian exports such as coal. So the seamen had to endure in Chinese waters.
Around 55 other ships would still be stuck, said Serang. Now at least the crew of the "Jag Anand" has been replaced, which is still waiting with a new crew for an entry permit into a Chinese port.
