Seized ship sold for Gaza aid voyage

A SHIP originally arrested by authorities here due to the maltreatment of its crew is now bound for Gaza to bring medical, educational and construction supplies to the country.

The MV Linda was originally one of three ships operated by the Latvian-based Forestry Shipping group to transport cargo across Europe.

Repeated investigations by the International Transport Federation led it to believe crew were not being paid and, in some cases, were not even being given enough food.
