| Comments and Observations: | ITF (12 March 2024)
Maritime data sources including Equasis show the vessel as being Australia flagged, but the vessel is now under Tuvalu
Govt. of Australia (14 March 2024)
I’d just like to confirm that the record needs to be amended to reflect that the vessel is not flagged to Australia. It has not been flagged to Australia since 2016.
International Maritime Organisation (20 March 2024)
I herewith would like to inform that IMO today received further confirmation from Mr. Mark Krzyzak at SP Global concerning Anchor Handling Tug Supply ‘WESTSEA GAIL’, IMO Number 9550905, that Tuvalu, who’s focal points are herewith included, registered the vessel in 2018 but also that it was deleted on 11 December 2018. As was notified on 13 March 2024, the vessel has currently on board 4 seafarers from India, who were abandoned in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on 1 October 2023. The insurer is: UNKNOWN.
