Seamen arrested, charged with intoxication
Five seamen arrested last week have been charged with improper operation of a ship in an incident in which crewmen were intoxicated and one allegedly shoved a Maryland pilot and showed a knife.
The U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland said the Ocean Victory, a Maltese-flagged 328-foot dry bulk carrier, was not properly manned due to the intoxication of several crew members, and that the ship was being detained at anchor near the mouth of the Patuxent River awaiting a flag administration review by the country of Malta in cooperation with Coast Guard Port State Control examiners.
