A crew of Indian sailors, left stranded in Aberdeen Harbour for more than a year, have been left in limbo again after their ship failed to sell at auction.
The six remaining men aboard the Malaviya Seven had been hoping the sale of the offshore supply boat would raise enough money to pay them the £612,000 they are owed.
The crew have been stuck in the port since their ship was detained last June, when a routine inspection discovered they had not been paid their wages for several months.
