This is is a story about a young Turkish seafarer died after brutal harassment on ship.Mustafa Koc a 19- year old of Turkish nationality,student of Maritime Transportation and Management Engineering at Piri Reis University.

Mustafa had gotten a 3-month long summer internship with Chemfleet and Armador Tankers.The ship he was supposed to join which called as Gannet S couldn’t dock to port,because of the bad weather, so he had to stay at a very sub-par non-hygienic hotel for 11 days.

On joining the vessel he was allotted the infirmary to stay, as the cabin he was supposed to stay was being occupied by the guards.Sadly for Mustafa,his worries hadn’t stopped they just begun.The vessel made him work for 20 hours a day for about 18 days.He was exploited every day on the ship.Ship AC was broken,the reason is still uknown, they even took his own blower away from him, and gave it to some other crew.Mustafa was resting only for four hours each day and working for 20 hours,these conditions are not humane and definitely not for a young boy who was looking for an entire life ahead on the ship.He was sleeping in 45 degrees Celsius and only for a couple of hours.Mustafa then was also insisted by the chief officer that he should clean the tank which is 20 meters deep,entrance is 1 meter wide and the temperature was 50 degrees Celsius.The job is forbidden to a cadet to do onboard.

Mustafa Koc had to work under these terrifying and horrific circumstances for 18 days and he told his family about how worse the situation was getting every day.

The family went ahead and told the press,they didn’t check on him when he had 4am a shift, as they wanted him to rest on the day of 11^th of July.Afterwards,when they went to wake up at 8am they found his lifeless body.His family was devastated as they had sent a young healthy boy who had so many dreans and aspirations,for an internship and they were bringing a lifeless body home.Mustafa was dead.
