| Comments and Observations: | Govt. of Panama (14 November 2022)
Please be informed that the vessel “JEDDAH PALACE”, with IMO No. 7721146 was ex-officio cancelled from Panama Registry, through the Resolution No. 106-CA-035-DGMM of May 28, 2021. So, Panama lost his exclusive jurisdiction over such vessel, as per Article 91 and 92 of UNCLOS.
ITF (27 November 2023)
The Syrian seafarer situation remains unresolved, he is still on board after 11 years and it owed 9 years wages. 4 of the 5 Syrian seafarers who joined the vessel last are now owed 6 months wages.
ITF (25 January 2024)
No progress. The mental health of the seafarer is critical due to his 12 years on board and total lack of a solution
International Maritime Organisation (15 May 2024)
At the time of the notification of this abandonment case the flag State was Unknown as it is still today on IMO GISIS, but the flag had been Panama just before the abandonment date so they were also included in the notification. We were then informed by them that they had already cancelled the registration. For as far I can oversee we were not informed about a new registration.
