All Pinoys back home
All 25 Filipinos of the 'Kmax Ruler', which had been hit by a Russian missile when entering the port of Pivdennyi, are now back in the Philippines. Eight Filipino crew members were repatriated on Dec 8. The DMW greeted them at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. With their arrival, all 25 Filipino crew members were back in the country. The first batch of repatriates had arrived on Nov 25, followed by a group of 14 on Dec 2. The bulk carrier was supposed to transport iron ore to China.
17 crew members repatriated
17 of the 25 all-Filipino crew members of the 'KMax Ruler', which had hit by a Russian missile while docked at the port of Pivdennyi, have returned home. The crew’s manning agency paid the costs of their return to the country as well as transit and accommodations on their way home to their respective provinces. They were also due additional insurance and other benefits from their manning and shipping agencies. All repatriated crew members were provided initial medical check-ups, psychosocial assessments, and an initial amount of P10,000 in financial assistance. 14 other Filipino seafarers returned home on Dec 2 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 in Parañaque City. A total of three Filipino seafarers were hurt as the Engine Trainee suffered a fracture, while the ship’s captain and 3rd mate sustained minor injuries.
EU condemned Russian attack on civilian ship
The EU has condemned the Russian attack on the 'KMAX Ruler' in the Black Sea. A spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell described it on Nov 9 as a “further escalation” and proof that Russia was also terrorizing civilian maritime traffic. “By targeting ports and export facilities, Russia is intentionally exacerbating the global food crisis,” he said. The ship, loaded with iron ore just entered the port after passing through the maritime corridor that Ukraine set up for civilian freighters. The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized in his evening video speech that it was “one of the greatest Ukrainian successes” that it was increasingly successful in clearing the Black Sea of Russian warships. He was apparently alluding to his army's repeated successful attacks against the Russian occupiers'. Ships tranist the corridor at their own risk, as Russia canceled a joint export agreement last summer amid great international protest and declared the sea route to Odessa, among other places, unsafe.
