The ship "Odessa", owned by the Black Sea Shipping Company (Odessa, Ukraine), was arrested for debts of the shipping company in the port of Naples in 1995.

In 1997, a replacement crew of ten people arrived back at it.

They were promised decent travel expenses - but almost all this time, none of the team members received a single cent.

Moreover, the business trip, which was supposed to take 3-4 months, was somewhat delayed: the sailors are preparing to celebrate their fourth New Year on board the Odessa.

The ship has no electricity, heat supply, etc.

Funds for food are obtained with difficulty-mainly from compatriots working illegally in Italy.

The families who remained in Odessa were already desperate to wait for their husbands and fathers, who decided to wait for the payment of all their money at all costs…
