My deepest condolences to you, Shivam's sister and the rest of your family. It's heart breaking to hear about your brother. Anglo Eastern Shipmanagement is one of the worst ship management companies in the world. The top man in India and at the Mumbai. headquarters is a person Mr. Vinay Singh. I have personally had a poor experience with this company in which I served at sea for a brief period and also with Mr. Vinay Singh. Most of the masters and senior officers employed by them or promoted to such positions are involved with the same brutal behaviour of this company towards personnel on board. If any of the masters or senior officers don't match up to the company's standards ( their lowness), such officers are done away with and they will also herald such slander against such officers that other companies would avoid employing these officers. They will always cover up, conceal evidence, destroy evidence and apportion all blame to the crew member; even building up false cases against them using their corrupt masters and senior officers.. All this to safeguard their reputation ( which actually is rotten) and to avoid payments of the large amounts of monies that will arise due to claims that they will be subject to, thereby pleasing the ship owners and protecting their financial gains Wilhelmsen Shipmanagement previously Barber's Shipmanagement falls into the same category and also promotes this illicit behaviour on board their vessels, that are going unnoticed and justice is never done. I have personally experienced this in this company. To avoid claims due to crew members because of accidents on board, they will, through the agents set up local policemen to muster in large numbers on board and have one arrested so the innocent crew mamber is unable to process his complaint easily or approach the local ITF unit or any help for that matter. The master, chief officer and the Mumbai office and it's Managing director should be strictly dealt with by the Law. Continue to raise this issue with the right advocates, shipping unions, the Shipping Ministry, the Directorate General of Shipping, all the maritime authorities at the concerned port and with the good, experienced and fearless officers who have pledged their support to you. Do not allow them to get away. Collect all the evidence against them as much as you can. Many good, sincere, hard working and loyal mariners have been tormented and I'll treated on board . Some crippled and many who have lost their lives with these ship management companies who are corrupt, inhuman, cruel and care less for the lives on board as their only interests is to run the management of ships to get the best margins of financial gain both for themselves and for the shipowners. I am available if you need any information about what actually goes on in these ship management companies who advertise themselves as the best but are actually the worst.

I am from kerala.. me and shivam has done pscrb courses together at HIMT chennai.. such a positive guy and always seen him smiling we became friends instantly .. soo shocked to hear this news .. my condolences 💐.. i am sure he will never commit suicide…. May his soul get the justice he deserve😢😢 anyway master is close to 3rd officer they do duty together 8-12 ,if he is not supporting.. pls contact chief officer or cadet.. and the AB who is doing watch with him.. they may provide necessary details.. COMPANY will only neglect you.. try investigating the personals onboard.. if they are native Indians it will be easy to extract informations..

Total respect: brave lady trying to fight a lone battle against a huge shipping company

Oh god you saved me....I got selected in Anglo but my family didnt allow me to go...now i feel that decision which was took by my parents was right

Just googled, There are many cases related to this company . Surprisingly in every case there is delay in handing over of Mortal. In most cases belongings to deceased were misplaced by company . It's very unfortunate that Shipping ministry is still sleeping . Very very unfortunate ...

File a case against the master of the ship and office at Mumbai, praying for his justice 🙏.

I did my cadetship from Anglo eastern, onboard my third ship around my 2 month one of the famous (for his arrogance nd tendency to sack people) master from that fleet joined onboard... And from the first day only he started his thing, shouting over everyone and everything .. in the intial days his main targets were C/O, 3/O and C.cook.... after just 10 days he sacket 3/E then on long sailing he came after me... He made me work from 0400 hrs till 2230 everyday and my breakfast, lunch and dinner times were reduced to 30 mins nd no tea break for cadet... When C/O and 2/O tried to protect me he made their life miserable as the C/O was sailing with his family he had to step back ... This torture continued for 3 months and till then I had lost 11 kgs weight and was on the brink of breaking.. everyone had signed off giving medical or family emergency or someother reason... Now the new officer and crew were facing the same dilemma.... But once my seatime was completed and I had 15 extra days in my hand, that day I decided I had enough and when in afternoon around 1235 hrs he saw me in mess room having lunch he in his usual tone said "bhenchod tuje 1230 tak lunch khatam kr k deck pr jaane ko bola hai na", i slowly stood up went near to him and started slapping him and thanks to him only my palms till then we're as hard as stone, and guess what the messroom was full but no one came in between us to save him... I slapped him as hard as I can and just after 12-13 slaps he fainted.... From that day till my sign off he never came out of his cabin.... Everyone onboard wrote a letter to the company about the master's behaviour onboard and it was signed by everyone.. But the master is still sailing with AESM and I was kicked out, but no regrets i got a better company after my secondmate exams...

Similar incident happened to one of our relative. The company mentioned heart failure as the cause of death. His wife who is a PCS officer has been fighting since then.

Being in the maritime industry since the past 14 years and working up the ladder to become a chief engineer ,I do agree that there is harrasment onboard ,not only from senior officers but also from crew ,have seen extremely violent personalities as well , It is better to get the crew list and dig thorough history of each member ,not just company's appraisal reports ,but also experience of collegues of each crew member in previous vessels as well. This kind of incidents should not be tollerated.Tommorow another mariner might fall victim. When management companies have the ability to scrutinize each and every cent spent on spares and stores ,why do they brush away such serious issues? Either they are involved ,or they don't care!

As a ex mariner I can say for SURE the master is involved. # If any other crew was bullying him he would have got the support from the master. # The only circumstance where you are completely helpless is when master itself is the evil. I have both witnessed & experienced bullying at sea. Most Indian crew thinks this is how it is & its normal. With european crew there is more respect and rights are more heard

You are a brave sister and a daughter We stand by you Things will change as soon as other people those have gone through same unfortunate situation will come up together.

I am sorry for your loss and will pray for your family. You are strong, you held back your tears while making this video, I couldn't. Few have guts to go against anything big in India. You can take this to court as well. Be strong for your mother🙏🏻

it breaks me heart to hear your side of the story. as a fellow deck officer this has been very sad news. apparently all people see is only one side of the story, i hope your endeavours enlighten the journey of a seafarer and the problems faced by the individual and family.

Really sorry for your loss, sister. My deepest condolences to your family. I’m sure your brother is watching you from all the way in heavens & cherishes you for taking up the matter so strongly & unfold the truth behind such unfortunate incidents. Hope you’re able to achieve whatever your wishes are. Stay strong. ॐ शांति

My friend's uncle also died on similar journey, his family never got the body! His uncle too was the most powerful and cheerful person in the community!

This has created an atmosphere of fear among the children who will be merging new merchants in the future. From now on, the Government of India and governments all over the world should enact a law in this regard and implement it. Rip shivam Bhai

My deepest condolences to you and your family. May God give you strength to fight in this difficult time. Aachal , we all are with you. Be strong and take care of your parents.

Anchal we are there to support you..really sad to hear this..keep fighting..we will get justice for shivam and fellow mariners who lost their life..God bless!

i hope this reaches all the people it should. my deepest condolences to you and your family. my heart breaks to hear such awful treatment for such a wonderful soul. may he get justice. 🙏🏻

Totally Speechless ...All I can do is to spread awareness and share this video as much as possible .. Be strong and take care of your parents .. I can really feel the pain ,that how my elder sisters will feel for me if this happens with me...

You need to hire a maritime lawyer for this. It'll be very difficult to get any kind of justice otherwise.

Kindly ask for the VDR recording of that date. Company office can provide you with the recording. As I am 100 % sure Master and chief mate have their involvement in the whole scenario. They often bully fresh 3rd officers very badly. To hell with these kind of people. RIP Shivam

I request everyone to please share and support 🙏 And I totally agree with you..seafarer's family should have basic knowledge of maritime laws and their rights.. #I expect quick justice for shivam!

My deepest condolences and prayers for you and your family. I totally support your appeal and the government and DG shipping should interfere to gain more information on the incident. I have been working in shipping for 9 years now and I can relate on how some shipping companies treat Indian seafarers. I wish your efforts and initiative will bring some constructive and bold changes in shipping laws. Once again be strong....i know you lost your brother and no one can replace him but you need to be even more stronger now for your parents. I also belong to defence family just exactly like you and my sister and parents gets worried whenever they don't hear from me whenever I am onboard my ship. I wish you success and hope you and your parents come out from this pain very soon.

This story should be spread on social media ASAP and the culprits should be hanged till death. More power to you Ma'am. We all are with you. Shivam will always be a warrior forever. He doesn't wanna see you cry. Please be strong, we've to catch those culprits.

Sorry to hear about your brother. You r very courageous to come online and speak about it.

My heart aches after hearing your story, idk how this video was recommended to me after entire 2 months. I hope this reaches more and more people and you get the justice. Rest in peace, Shivam.

I can't imagine what your family is going through...may god give your family strength to go through this...we will not lose untill we get the justice...

I'm sorry for your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Please take care of your parents. Anchal, you are a strong women. Do not stop until the government/ courts take actions against the ones responsible. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sorry to hear your loss. I hope and wish Shivam gets justice.

I'm here for you. I'll try my best to help you in any way possible. Stay strong.

Sister, you made me cry so bad. I understand the pain you must be going through. You felt so helpless with the officers and the justice system that you were forced to put a video about this in such detail on KZfaq. I am sorry to say this, but this could be a potential murder. There could have been a fight on ship. At one point I wanted to join the same company, but my future took a turn. Unfortunately, a friend of mine is now working with Anglo Eastern. I used to ask my friend how his life is on the ship. He used to tell me that there are crew members who harass him and certain people, every day and night, even while eating food. When a ship is in the mid of an ocean, life becomes so risky. In your case the company took care of everything about the potential crime on-board, using the fact that it could take days to come to the shore. I would suggest you to file a complaint against each officer and certain crew members and not just the company. Let everyone on the ship get interrogated and also get a petition to perform a lie detector test. Fight for this case as much as you could. I hope you get justice and those culprits got to prison for life.

I'm so freaking sorry for your loss my sister. I can see your pain and only try to understand what you must be going through. My full support is with your family. Keep fighting for justice because maybe we can save others going through the same fate. Rip shivam. A kind and hardworking soul left us but his memories will always be cherished.

RIP for his soul...being a officer on board really felt bad for him...May god give your family the strength to bear the pain and agony.....

Very sad!! Every officer who has gone thru exams and all to reach this rank won't commit Suicide, that too onboard!! All gets mentally strengthened during all this process of training and exams.... Something bad happened there, we are here with you.. be strong!!

Extremely sorry on ur loss sister.. 🙏🏻 everything will be fine and Shivam will definately get justice. 💪 India is with you.

Really heart broken... God pls give strength to his family in this tough time... I request to all officers pls share this video... Let our shipping ministry should see this... Let's pray for justice

Really sorry for your loss, May God give you strength to get justice from the real people

Anchal I am sorry to hear your family suffering. Thanks for sharing this video so that it will be an eye opener for many who wanted to join Merchant navy.

I am sorry for your, and your family's loss.Keep fighting for him. He and many like him deserve justice. I have a friend who was in navy, and his best friend also went through something like this, and until this day, his family don't know what happened. Praying for strength for you, and your family ❤

Justice should be delivered. Thanks for coming up and raising your voice.

Hi Dear, I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. 3 years ago I lost my younger brother too. He died of bad electrical equipment but we faced all the same issues with MSC as you did. Company never owned up its own mistake or even provided any reports .. He also had dreams and was newly married but nothing matters to these companies except making money. No one even came home to ask my parents how they were managing after him. It’s sad to hear that the shipping ministry and Indian govt is not taking its own people seriously. Only if this would have happened in another country the company wouldn’t have any license to operate. They should be made party of any FIR or case you put . We went pillar to post from MUI offices to the DG Shipping but there no help to us and finally we had to lawyer up in Dubai to get my brothers reports & ITF inspector in Belgium helped us. It’s a big fight as all the corrupt govt & NGO or even MUI people are supporting them but more families like us come together they will not be able to fool us any longer. There needs to be more awareness of the life of seafarers and life after of families when they give their life to such companies. More power to you and let’s get in touch!

Will share this video as much as possible so that Shivam will get the justice he deserves.

It's heartbreaking , Deepest condolences to your family ....Praying for the justice 👍

Sorry this happened to you and your family. Sending prayers your way. Stay strong.

Mam, please try to acquire the crew list at that point of time in the particular vessel/ship. Catch hold of the master and chief officer who are the main adversaries in reporting welfare of other deck crew. I am also an aspiring marine engineer and scared to face such horrifying situation. I am ready to support and share this video with all my contacts of interest in this marine industry.

Anchal , I can’t believe and imagine what you guys would have gone through . The saw the entire video and it only broke my heart . List out the names of the people who were involved and make it public . I am praying for u and your family . Sending you so much strength and love . #justiceforshivam

RIP SHIVAM. We are with you strong lady. Commenting for better reach. May GOI take a strict action against the culprits.

I'm inarticulated. The pain in her tone and facial expression says a lot. The only I can say is may almighty give you justice and bring the culprits to the light 🙏💐

Very sad. RIP Shivam. My condolences. Try to arrange a personal meeting with Shipping Minister and Shipping Secretary. Both are in Delhi. Give them a detailed written complaint. Send a copy to PMO also. Give a detailed written complaint to DG Shipping, Mumbai. If possible, meet him personally. You explain your issue in brief and seek a personal appointment through email. Follow up consistently till you get satisfactory answers. Wish you all the best.

First of all very sorry for the loss of your dear brother. May his soul RIP Secondly it is a clear case of a cover up. You have done absolutely right by trying to fight back and that you must. There are a vast number of loopholes in this case. Trying to do all the investigation yourself will be difficult and a huge task. You do need to get hold of a reputed marine lawyer. In the meantime try to collect all information as far as possible from your side as suggested in various comments below. Also try to get the P & I report if it was done and if it was not done, Why?? At the same time do not hesitate to file a complaint with the Prime Minister's office in case you find continuous attempts to cover up the case.

Sorry to hear of this issue. Hope you can get in touch with the other families who lost loved ones during service of this company, and perhaps as a group take legal/other action. This can't be an easy time. Prayers for strength to your family.

Hi Anchal , first of all I am really sorry for your loss . May Almighty give you and your family strength to bear this pain. Being part of this industry from last 14 years, I could imagine what your family is going through now a days. And about this company I could recall my batchmate from college , he also lost his life on just his first ship ( Satyendra Kumar Yadav in 2008 , Dehradun) He was also only son of his family , unfortunately his family couldn't even get his body also. I wish you all the success and support and strength to fight for the right cause. Please keep your efforts continue so that other officers and their families may have a platform to talk about thier right.

My heartiest condolences with the family, also I would suggest the same thing here that please try to connect with any friend of him and get the crew list of that ship during that tenure. Try to contact with the person who was there onboard during this incident. You will surely get some truth out , and as mentioned by other seafarers here nothing happens onboard with the knowledge of captain. If not the senior officers also might know what must have happened there. Get in touch with DG Shipping and surely get help of some Marine lawyer too. As a fellow seafarer i support your decision and stand with you for justice. May mahakaal gives u strength.

Such incidents are frequently heard in shipping industry....even I have faced such type of harassment, where many seniors onboard try to humiliate juniors. We have to be mentally very strong to deal with them, as on board we rarely get any support from fellow seafearer.

First , my condolences. this video is a real shocker !! i have heard stories abt man being overboard the vsl & stuff like that but this is strange. I feel the govt should intervene & inquire all the crew members to bring the truth out. my prayers for you & your family to endure this long ordeal.. I am sure it wont be easy but keep the fight on Stay Strong !!

More power to you!! Praying for the justice! 🙏 May his soul rest in peace.. Keep fighting dear. God is watching!

It is simply heavily disturbing. May his soul rest in peace. I also support wherever required as the root cause needs to be found out. Now a days these type of cases have become common on ships even in good company like Anglo. I have sailed in Wilhelmsen and know Anglo well. Fault needs to be found on the ships crew and testimonials from each crew separately as if any such suicide attempt was made there has to be background from sometime. Like personal grudges, fight etc

Felt extremely sorry for your loss.. This is the time when shipping ministry and other government bodies keep there mouth shut.. but we as a mariner will never keep quite..#justice_for_shivam

RIP 😥😥 Please do your Best and take case to Justice. We are always with you for your help and justice. I have read so many cases regarding Anglo Eastern. We are always there.

I'm sorry for your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Please take care of your parents. More power to the lady .

You are a brave sister. Bhagwaan aapko Shakti de aur merchant Navy ke sab employees aapka saath de aapke bhai ko justice dilane mein.🙏

I think this is about my friend’s cousin. She had shared this with me a while back and I was completely shocked to hear. Deepest condolences to you and your family.

It's heart breaking to hear this. Condolence to you sister and your family.. Lost such a good brother son . Sorry to hear this.. I will pray 🙏 that he gets justice. We are with you

This needs to be shared and spread as much as possible. This guy deserves as much outrage as sushant recieved. A life is a life.

Heart felt condolences. May his soul rest in peace. My recommendation would be to get in touch with both local and international news channels. Never leave any stone unturned. Hope you find justice. But firstly file a RTI about the company.

It's really very sad to me that happened onboard. My deepest condolences to you and your family. As I knew from you that Shivam sir couldn't in a stage that he hanged for himself. He had well plan for his future. I couldn't accept that it was a suicide. I'm one of the cadet who planned to start my journey with marine profession. After this happened I'm really scared. Such companies don't take it seriously that how much life is important for a crew member and their families. I support that you stand against this company & asking justice from the government for Shivam sir. ⚖️🇮🇳.

Anchal, you have given me immense strength, you are very brave and strong. Thankyou so much and my deepest condolences.

Extremely pained to hear about this ! May you triumph in your quest to bring justice to your brother dear sister !

My deepest condolences to shivam... he'll be in heaven now... good decision... you took for your brother.. we'll support you... tell your parents we'll get justice soon...

Your lose cannot be replaced, my prayers for your brother shivam. Most of the Indian companies are like this, they care only profit and money, otherwise it has to be some reputed ownership companies which are there for the seafarer welfare. You must file an fir against the master of the ship and the company for hiding the truth to protect the real person behind this. Or else they must have solid proof to prove their innocence. Please post videos regarding any updates until justice is got. So in the future no family has to undergo what you are going through. May God be with you and your family through this tough times.

Sorry for your Loss... May his Soul Rest in Peace... hope and pray that the authorities take immediate action..

The public is with you. You stay strong and keep fighting🙏

Myself working as a junior officer onboard, I really feel sad to hear about this. All my prayers and condolence for the family. May god give strength to the family to bear this loss and justice to Shivam's family. Jai hind

My deepest condolences to you and your family . I hope you get a competent legal team to investigate this matter further . Every Crew member on that ship at the time of Shivam's demise should be disembarked / repatriated and summoned to an investigation in India regardless of nationality . The Company must demonstrate a sense of responsibility and clarity and ensure a thorough investigation is carried with all crew members interviewed and investigated ashore by relevant authorities . The Ship should have been detained and crew investigated at the Port itself . This is a clear lapse and goes to show how much society as a whole cares for it's KEY Workers . Only the Crew of that ship will know the facts . It's a small world when at sea and everyone learns about each other's strength and weakness . If all fails , an FIR should be filled against every Crew member of that ship or a Court Summon issued against them for an investigation . The Truth will reveal itself eventually . Stay Strong Sister .

Soo Sorry for you Loss Ma'am 🥺 Hope those Criminals face true judgement and your family gets justice. May his Soul rest in peace. 🙏🏻 Om Shanti 🕉️

Condolences for your loss. This video is such an eye-opener! This video caught my eye because my brother was formerly with this org. Wishing you & the families of everyone in this situation strength & justice.

The way they dealt with whole scenario, seems like something is there that they are trying to hide. We may start signing petition against ASM to create pressure on them and hire the lawyer and start investing through all on board crew during incident. Definitely real things will come out. Keep fighting until justice deliver.

A thought of comfort and condolences to the grieving family . I wish and hope for justice. Truth will ultimately prevail .

My deepest condolences and strength to you anchal and your family... Do take out list of friends as well and look if someone did it because of jealousy or personal grudges.... In today's world crime is so easy to commit because suspect knows how long it takes to get caught but you don't loose hope and kept digging in and don't left any part, do take support and guidance from personalities who can relate and help you to solve this mystery asap.... We will get justice... Be strong....

Proud of you, you are such a brave girl to bring this up🙏🏻

I cant even imagine the horror and grief that you and your family has gone through. Feeling sad for Shivam. Not an age to go. My personal advise is to get in contact with all the crew onboard. We dont know what happened but the series of events seems doubtful for sure. So once again i will stress that try to contact the crew who was working with him onboard at the time. Someone will definitely be of good heart to help with the uncovering of truth. And to anyone who has worked with Shivam and knows something about this, i beg you to please help the family with getting to the truth as a closure. Please keep in mind..and i am saying it as a shippy. Your loyalty should be to the industry and the community and not to your particular company because they provide you with means of earning. Remember.....if you do some mistake this same company wont hesitate a second to fire you irrespective of your years of service to them. And who knows if something like this is not checked in time then the next person might be you. A life is lost here we dont know how or why. The dead has departed but the living he left behind are suffering and going through some unthinkable nightmare. Just a little bit of your courage may help them to get a closure.

Aanchal ji what I feel that rather than fighting from the company,,, you limit you fight to individual (manager or Master or chief mate,,etc) as of now, Once they will be proven guilty, company has to take responsibility of that... Be safe,, as companies legal budget has no limits... You are very Brave,,, God helps the brave,,, Omshanti 🙏

You are so strong anchal ❤️ may god gives you strength to you and your family. i hope your brother get justice 🙏

It’s a very sad story.... you are very strong girl... I wish your brother and your family gets justice.

RIP, I am soo sorry for your loss. Please try to get the crew list for his vessel. Company may not help you because of their commercial/ reputation loss but onboard crew may help, if contacted. Please check your brother mail ID. Company sometimes send crew list mail or check the joining documents there may be other crew who joined with him. Plz try to findout crew list and contact them. You may know actual truth by this. Thanks

I'm a engineer and declined this job long ago. Govt actions are pathetic when comes to regulate safety standards in this industry and many other big capital industries manufacturing/real state etc. Sorry for your brother loss.

Sorry for your loss. I really do hope you can bring in a change to the system.

During my school days their were 4 to 5 students in my class those who wanted to join merchant navy,they cracked the exam and got admission and after 4 years they joined their job but now they regret their decision and they said to me that it's worst job ,young people are attracted by the income in this field which becomes the reason of their downfall.

My deepest condolences sister. Shivam is nice and talented guy. I have done courses with him in HIMT. Such a bright student. He is never capable of suicide. The company is not telling us the truth. Lawsuit must be filed against each and every member of the ship including the company for this irreparable loss. Youngsters of next generation pursuing this career has a dark side to their life owing to the pride and arrogance of senior officers.

Really sorry for your loss ... Make sure to add Ship Captain's name in FIR since nothing happens without his knowledge ...

Didi, I am with you🙏🙏🙏 justice must be served 🙏🙏🙏

I am really sorry to hear all this. I pray to God that your family gets justice. It is really shocking to know what your family might be going through.

Meet each and every crew of that ship personally and talk to them.Try to get crew list and I am sure they will be indian so meet everyone personally and you will know exact matter.They will also tell a fabricated story but you can compare all stories and extract truth. Sorry for your loss.I am also a merchant navy officer and feeling very bad after knowing such thing.

Bow thruster room( BT Room) is a place where u open its entrance then one alarm comes up on bridge and as per rules no one can enter it without informing bridge.So here 's catch who send him to B/ T room and how duty officer didnt know when alarm is coming while this entrance???.. I am telling you go and consult good marine lawyer you will definitely find alot about this

More power to you, and I hope the authorities pay attention and respond appropriately.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. My husband is also in Marine Engineering, and this kind of stuffs really scare the shit out of me. I am so very sorry for your lose

Very sorry for ur loss ...may god give strength to u n ur family But 1st thing is to ascertain the cause of death- anything in mobile, any feud onboard,anything he told.

What is Shipping / Marine Ministry doing here ? I feel sorry about the huge loss. You should need justice. There must be some malpractice happening to suppress the truth. The company conducts many processes along with psychological test. And still this mishap. The groups should be punished and hanged. Catch those Bl***y culprits. Government should really help internally. That’s the reason love yourself & your work than your company, this trend is in every sector and field. Let’s fight this and bring them down, always with you sister.

I was crazy to join cruise, but my family and friends stopped me reasoning sexual harassment that happens on board. I was still reluctant and fighting till this date only to come across this video and realise how horrific the bullying on board is!!! Damn this is too heartbreaking! Shivam didn’t deserve this! My prayers!! Cannot imagine the trauma you and your family facing! Strength to you! Hope justice prevails soon! 💔💔💔
