The MT Ocean Pride is one of a number of ships abandoned off the UAE coast and profiled by NGO Human Rights at Sea in their report detailing the human rights abuses against seafarers in the region. By July 2017, the nine-man crew (one Pakistani, six Indians, one Bangaldeshi and one Sri Lankan) had not been paid wages for 25 months. Whilst stranded on board, HRAS found the crew were denied access to medical treatment, food or water.

The seafarers did contact the Indian Consulate but as of July 2017 it had not yet been confirmed whether they had been able to address the sailors' needs or facilitate contact with their families back home.
“Breach of Indian Seafarers Human Rights & their Abandonment”, 2 July 2017
The [nine-member] crew of the MT Ocean Pride are currently stranded on an increasingly dangerous vessel, anchored off the coast of UAE. The MT Ocean Pride is an oil/chemical tanker owned by Alco Shipping Services…Throughout their ordeal, the crew have been denied access to proper and timely medical treatment. They have not been provided with suitable facilities, food, water…and their health and wellbeing has been severely damaged as a result…Despite repeated requests for help, the crew’s correspondence has been ignored, and their salaries not paid for 25 months…[Their] passports were [confiscated] from their sign-on date, and have not been returned despite repeated requests…There is insufficient Personal Protective Equipment on board…[and] fire extinguishers…have expired. In addition, the life boats are rusted and not safe to use, and…seawater is allegedly leaking into the engine room…
