An Yue Jiang news. Ship makes no attempt to offload arms, trade unions report (UPDATED)

06/05/08

Title

7 May 2008

An Yue Jiang location update as of 7 May

The ITF understands that the An Yue Jiang left Luanda during the afternoon of the 4th May and headed southbound at around 10 knots. We believe she passed Ponta Da Marca (Angola) earlier today and if speed and weather remain constant should arrive off, or pass, Cape Town on or around 12th May. The vessel’s next stop is not known at this stage.

An Yue Jiang update. Ship makes no attempt to offload arms, trade unions report

The ITF and ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation) report the following news received from their fellow trade unionists in Angola: That the An Yue Jiang has left Luanda after unloading a cargo of cement and construction material only. No attempt was made to offload any armaments, and the ship sailed after taking on fuel and food. Trade unionists, including from the port workers’ union, maintained a watch on the ship and what came off and went on it throughout its stay in port. The police were also present.

The ITF will supply an update on the vessel’s location tomorrow.
