Twenty-one sailors, 20 from India and one from Sri Lanka, have been stuck on board the Dali, a container vessel that collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on March 26 due to an ongoing investigation.
For the last seven weeks, they have been confined to the vessel. With their phones confiscated, they cannot even pay bills for their families back home.
The sailors have been left without communication with their families, causing significant hardship for crew members with young children, as their mobile phones were seized by the FBI as part of the investigation into the crash.
