Govt. of Netherlands (12 August 2021)
From Perm Rep of the Netherlands to IMO
We are aware. PSC was on board in June 2021 to carry out an inspection. As a result of the findings during those inspections, both ships were detained, among other issues, for non-payment of wages and for expired SEAs. Work is underway to get a replacement crew (skeleton crew) on board. We have also understood that the Port of Rotterdam is making every effort to keep the situation sustainable for the crew.’
ITF (6 January 2022)
I can conform that the seafarers on board the Marvin Faith and Marvin Confidence have received their owed wages and the cases can you bet set to RESOLVED.
