On 20 December 2017 the owners, through their agent Eurotank Maritime Management SA, offered to repatriate crew members willing to disembark and “to maintain only skeleton crew onboard for security purposes”. The offer does not include payment of the crew’s outstanding wages.

Dear Ms Madrid,
As mentioned in my previous email, we have already made the necessary arrangements to settle the crew wages to the manning agent, Antares Marine (Ric), before the 28th of January.
We are attaching copies, of the signed by the crew members Schedule 1 and 2 letters.
Kind regards,

Dear Katie,
According to crew in Windsor and the manning agent in Singapore, the owner transferred crew's salaries to the manning agent and it has been already distributed to crews' bank accounts except Bulgarian master.
As the manning agent for him is different from other crews it needs to confirm the payment from the owner.
Regarding repatriation, the owner has yet to arrange flights for all crews and I will request it to the owner.

Dear Fusao
Many thanks for the update. Congratulations on reaching a solution. In terms of status for the database I think we will have to call it disputed until such time as the Masters full wages have been recovered.
Best, Katie
Gouv. de Panama (31 décembre 2020)
The vessel was sanctioned through the Resolution No. 106-S-21-DGMM of February 01, 2018.
According to the Databse, on February 01, 2018, ITF indicated that "we will have to call it disputed until such time as the Master full wages have been recovered."
COMPLAINT CLOSED on March 7, 2018, because the shipowner arranged for the repatriation of the crewmembers and the wages owed were paid.
