The 21-member crew of the cargo ship Dali has been stranded onboard for over nine weeks following the collapse of the Key Bridge. The incident has left the crew in limbo with no clear timetable for their departure, raising global concern. This situation highlights a broader issue of seafarer abandonment, with over 2,000 sailors abandoned without pay last year, the highest number on record. Many seafarers are left stranded without visas or money, unable to leave their ships or return home. Calls for urgent action to address the alarming rise in seafarer abandonment within the logistics industry are growing louder.

Globally, crew abandoned by shipowners who run into financial difficulties are left aboard for months and sometimes years without pay and often can't leave the ship. Incredible story by @AP investigative reporters @helenwieffering and @APjoshgoodman https://t.co/Cla9YOtJAY
More than 2,000 sailors were abandoned without pay last year in ports around the world – the highest number on record. Without visas, many of the seafarers can’t leave their ships. And without money, they can’t afford to return home. https://t.co/3w0VhAZyi0
