Shipowners, cruise lines and transport workers' associations are calling on European countries to admit seafarers into the EU Schengen territory to join ships or be repatriated. Crew members have had their contracts extended — some by many months — and urgently need to be relieved but it is 'exceedingly difficult' for crew changes to take place in the EU, the European Community Shipowners' Association (ECSA), European Transport Workers' Federation (ETF), Cruise Lines International Association and World Shipping Council said in a joint letter to ministers of home affairs and transport.
