\nThe Tug Craig Trans arrived in Halifax Several days ago to wait out weather, it is being deatined for deficencies in the vessel and its accomidations. The crew apparently ran out of food 3 days out of Halifax.<\/p>\n

CTV News Reports<\/a>:
\nIt came in out of the weather to the Port of Halifax,\u201d says Michele
\nPeverill of the Halifax Port Authority. \u201cTransport Canada did an
\ninspection and noted deficiencies that need to be repaired before it can
\n leave port.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aboard the boat are eight Honduran sailors, who ran out of food and water three days ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the boat is, ah, right now, is no water, no food, it\u2019s kind of
\ntough on the boat right now. We get here, it\u2019s better. We get a lot of
\nhelp here,\u201d says Chief Mate Pedro Andrade.<\/p>\n

Help has come from the Mission to Seafarers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing we did this morning was take breakfast onboard for
\nthem and some hot coffee. We supplied food again at lunchtime,\u201d says
\nMission to Seafarers co-ordinator Maggie Wittingham-Lamont.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no water to bathe, we had a couple of jugs for drinking,\u201d says Andrade.<\/p>\n

Jim Stonehouse says his company, Atship, is fronting money, taking care
\n of humanitarian needs and even took one crew member to hospital for a
\nminor ailment.<\/p>\n

Andrade says the tug was on its way to Montreal where it was assigned to pick up a ship for scrap.<\/p>\n

The Craig Trans was built in 1944 in Florida and is registered in the
\nlandlocked South American country of Bolivia. It is owned by Vesta
\nShipping of New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of things got to be touched up,\u201d says Andrade.<\/p>\n

Wittingham-Lamont says donations of money or lightly-used winter
\nclothing would be appreciated from anyone who wants to help the crew.<\/p>\n
