Cargo ship crew unpaid for months

Help

A seafaring charity says it is concerned for the welfare of the crew of a cargo ship that has been stranded for three months off the Dorset coast.

Westwind II got into difficulties during a storm in October last year and dragged its anchor before running aground in Weymouth Harbour.

The vessel was later "arrested" after claims its anchor had damaged commercial mussel beds in the harbour.

Apostleship of the Sea is trying to help five crew who remain on board.
