why can't they get down in Chennai for a rest, without staying 51 days in sea.
There has to be official Clearance from any govt for the crew / cargo to enter into any Country waters.
Still i guess there is a tug of war between India & Sri lanka as to where the cargo is to be unloaded !
When USA Nuclear Ship USS Nimitz berthed in chennai harbour, almost all the crew members of the Ship came to land after 180 days in Iranian sea & entered into chennai even without any passport.
That was accepted becasue India allowed it officially...Not in this case so far !
