Comments and Observations: | ITF (12 October 2020) This vessel is part of the PALMALI SHIPPING & AGENCY company, which has a number of abandoned vessels around the world.
ITF (9 December 2020) All officers were repatriated on 28th November 2020 with 4 months wages paid by the P&I Club. Four crew members remain on board who refused repatriation - RESOLVED
ITF (21 January 2021) 5 crew remain on board. Outstanding wages for these crew until 31/01/2021 totals $70,212. The 2nd Officer from the Shovket Alexprova was transferred to Mubariz Ibrahimov.
ITF (13 December 2021) We understand that the remaining crew on board will be paid within a week. Those crew who had been repatriated and had filed a judicial case, have had their money deposited in a bank by Palmali. However, it is known whether they are receiving their wages yet. The vessel is at a shipyard and planned to start trading soon. Vessel is now under Liberia flag.
