Seafarers on vessels owned by companies such as Seatruck who are often employed from Eastern Europe or SE Asia do not only have to cope with poor wages they also face arduous conditions.In 2008 a vessel the Seatruck vessel MV Riverdance registered in the Bahamas and engaged on a regular cross Irish Sea route was driven ashore on Blackpool beach after its cargo shifted and its engines failed.
