Comments and Observations: | International Maritime Organisation (30 July 2024) The vessel is the following General Cargo Ship ‘ALANO’, IMO Number 8626551, however, the only corresponding name of a vessel with this identical IMO Number on IMO GISIS is: ‘XIANG TONG’, flag: UNKNOWN
Other (31 July 2024) From S&P Global Market Intelligence
Originally on 23rd July we were advised by Togo that this vessel was flying their flag fraudulently. The IMO number they quoted on their correspondence gave the IMO number as 8626651 which we advised them was an invalid IMO number. Yesterday we received from Togo copy of fake registration certificate. This gave the IMO as 8626551. The certificate shows date of registration as 21st November 2023 with previous flag given as Cambodia. We showed this vessel under Cambodia flag but it was deleted from their flag in 2011. Since this date vessel has had no flag. No AIS transmissions and no PSC inspection since November 2010. We have attached copy of fake certificate. We know Cambodia ceased to operate an international ship registry at least 4/5 years ago which again confirms this fraudulent registration.
We updated our records to show vessel under FALSE Togo flag with effect from November 2023.
Other (6 August 2024) From S&P Global Market Intelligence
I can confirm we have updated name to ALANO under Togo False flag. False Togo flag effective November 2023.
ITF (12 September 2024) All crew were repatriated on 1st September 2024.
