It was a US court that enforced the detainment so neither the PRC nor the owners have much to do with it (. If the crew were at sea they'd be earning a lot more more money for both. Having a crew shut up in a secret location, not running your ships, isn't good business sense.<br><br>I wonder how the US would have reacted if the master, chief engineer et al aboard the Global Patriot were detained by the Egyptian authorities under the same conditions, pending a court hearing that might not happen for a year or two?<br><br>What's good for the goose...Bob CouttieFri, 28 Mar 2008 19:55:36 -0000http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/cosco-busan-crew-detainment-commentary-by-john-denham/#comment-1349796This is worse than those lads you Yanks have detained in Cuba.
