From the Govt. of Cook Islands to the IMO:
I would like to acknowledge receipt with thanks of your communication.
I can confirm that this Administration has received the communication from ITF on 15/08/24 and it has since been working with ITF and managers in order to have outstanding wages fully paid and due repatriation of seafarers complied with.
So far we have been provided only partially with the evidence requested to the managers. We are following up daily with update requests and we will put in place the most appropriate actions to make sure this case is solved as quickly as possible.
ITF is copied on all our communications so that they can be up to date with any development.
I will provide any further significant update in due course.
Kind regards
ITF (1 October 2024)
Repatriation completed and wages recovered for all crew off signers and remaining seafarers onboard
