Govt. of Azerbaijan (5 September 2024)
I am writing with regards to abandoned general cargo ship Gelibolu 2. As the date of report there were 4 Azerbaijani citizens, so that we had informed our embassy in the Republic of Turkiye. However, while checking the status of the case in ILO/IMO joint database we have noticed an update, so pending salaries partially was paid. In the report there is no clear information whether there are Azerbaijanis among seafarers who stay on the ship untill now. We would like to ask if you to help us to get contact information, so we can pass it to our consulate accordingly.
