Vessel had been inspected already some time ago by local PSC authorities. However, living conditions have not improved.
Panamá (3 Septiembre 2024)
In response to your inquiry, I kindly confirm that the vessel SEA PRINCES, does not belong to the Panamanian Ship Registry.
We regret what happened to the ship's crew but, as per Article 94 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, the Republic of Panama does not currently have administrative, technical or social responsibilities over the ship; we have no legal link with the shipowner.
We are closely following the case in our Department such as that of Navigation and Maritime Safety through Inspections and contact with the Flag State.
I you have any other inquiries don't hesitate in contact us.
