Court of inquiry probes Britain's 16 day seamen strike

A four man court of inquiry opened to resolve Britain's 16 day merchant seamen strike, aiming to avert economic chaos. Union sources expect an appeal to sailors to return to ships, while some call for not unloading British flag tankers in Europe. Coast Guard noted most tankers dock in Britain, though few have loaded since the walkout. As ships reach home, crews may sign off, with 18,974 sailors abandoning 651 vessels by Monday night. The inquiry hopes for an interim report in 12 to 14 days to frame a settlement after 55 years without a maritime shutdown.
