THIRTEEN Filipino seafarers have made it home after more than five months aboard an abandoned livestock carrier, Yangtze Harmony, in Singapore.

The International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF) facilitated the repatriation of the crew who were stranded since the vessel was seized in October 2022 over an unpaid fuel bill.
