Govt. of Myanmar (21 August 2024)
Thanks for your recent communication regarding this vessel. I am the Deputy Director of the Department of Marine Administration, Myanmar.
We have received a vessel abandonment report concerning the General Cargo vessel VSG Glory (IMO No. 9103025) under flag of Comoros. According to the report, the vessel was abandoned by the ship owner at En route to Icdas, Turkey on 1st August 2024. There is a seafarer onboard from Myanmar, who have not been paid for more than twelve months.But it was verified that the vessel was not officially registered for sending Myanmar seafarers in my department.
To proceed with the necessary actions and provide assistance to the affected seafarer, we require detailed information about the Myanmar crew member , including his name, passport number, and Seafarer Identification and Record Book (SIRB) number. Unfortunately, the information we currently have is incomplete.
We kindly request your assistance in providing the required information from the IMO records. Your prompt response will greatly aid us in addressing this urgent matter and ensuring the welfare of the stranded seafarer.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
