Just under 500 seafarers remain stuck onboard 109 ships at Ukrainian ports - skeleton crews who were left on board to enable their crew mates to be evacuated amid the conflict with Russia, shipping officials said on Friday.

Those remaining should be allowed safe passage out too, the International Chamber of Shipping association said.

Referring to skeleton crews left behind, Natalie Shaw of the ICS said "the escape route out of ‘the apocalypse’ must be open to these seafarers as well". The biggest cluster of vessels that have been unable to sail - some 25 ships - are stranded in the port city of Mykolaiv. The ICS data pinpointed the location of 99 vessels, with the remaining 10 unaccounted for as their tracking transponders were switched off.
