Salary is paid by an INDIAN company and/or service is rendered in India is taxable in India irrepective of residential status, received in Indian bank account or outside etc.
In your case, it is NOT taxable in India however there is a scope for litigation as the Income Tax Department will try to tax it - it needs to be defended well - check this post for case laws/judgements that you can use: NRI Seafarer Taxation: Way forward after 2016 ITAT Tapas Kr. judgement
Thanks!
