Comments and Observations: | ITF (25 November 2016) The case is closed but the seafarers have not received all outstanding wages.
ITF (7 December 2017) USD 92,500 Backpay obtained
ITF Certificate of Registry has been expired at the end of July, thus, currently, the notification to the flag State is impossible technically. (The ship has no flag State)
Other Comment by RTI Latin America;
Currently, banks have the ship, and the crews are belived to come up 1 or 2 in payment priority. Technically, the Registry is good for about six months after it expires, so technically it is still Panamanian, so they should still notify the Flag State.
