The "Capa Santa Milgria" remains arrested because its owners owe creditors more than 60 million $ and is anchored off Sea Point with a skeleton crew of 27 people who have been told to wait until further notice. The ship was arrested in Saldanha 12 days ago and then moved to Cape Town. Five Indian nationals, who had flown to Cape Town as replacement crew, refused to board the vessel after hearing it had been arrested. A Home Affairs official told them they could stay in Cape Town to make arrangements to return home. It was agreed they would stay in a hotel in Cape Town until their flight back to India, scheduled for Sep 4. When on Sep 3 they went to fetch their passports at the Customs House, the immigration officer locked them up in the Sea Point police station’s holding cells. An urgent application was then lodged in the Western Cape High Court and the judge ordered the men to be released from the cells only in time to get their passports and get to the airport in time for their flight.

Twenty seven seamen are stuck on board the "Caoe Santa Milgaria" anchored off Sea Point in Cape Town by Sep 8, 2010. The "Cape Santa Milagria" was stopped in Saldanha Bay two weeks ago because the boat’s British owners allegedly owed creditors over R400 million. The crew members have been ordered to remain at sea while the fate of the vessel is determined. The new crew had expressed some reservations about going on board at Saldanha because of the controversy surrounding the vessel.
