Container ship ATHENS BRIDGE, deployed understood, on the ONE Service China-Singapore-Malaysia-India, left Kattupalli India on Apr 22, with Port Klang being next port of call.

The ship was rejected entry in sequence, by Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam, in the wake of India’s “covid crisis” fears, to be finally, allowed to anchor in Manila Bay, thanks to 21 Filipino crew.

12 crew were tested positive, 2 of them taken to hospital, reportedly with breath problems. It is said, that they’re in “critical condition”.

The ship arrived at Manila Bay on May 6, and remains at anchor, in quarantine and under maximum security. Most of the crew are healthy, but such nonsense as being healthy doesn’t count any more.
