Pakistanis captured by Somali pirates victims of ‘ownership crisis’

The Pakistani crew aboard the MT Honour 25 found themselves in dire straits after being captured by Somali pirates, suffering from severe illnesses and basic sustenance issues due to the lack of support from their company. This incident highlights the broader issue of an "ownership crisis," where companies fail to take responsibility for the wellbeing of their workers, especially when they are in vulnerable situations far from home. Such lapses not only endanger lives but also raise questions about corporate accountability and the ethical treatment of employees in international maritime operations.
