Leaving Third Engineer Hadisur behind

In an impressive burst of urgent diplomacy, Bangladesh this week managed to bring back the stranded crew members of the MV Banglar Samriddhi, a vessel belonging to the Shipping Corporation (BSC) that got caught up in the outbreak of war at a Ukranian port on its Black Sea coast, Olvia. The Bangladesh embassy in Warsaw, Poland, coordinated their rescue, eventually putting them on a plane back home from Bucharest, Romania.
