| Comments and Observations: | ITF (4 December 2022)
The vessel was under arrest due to litigation between registered owner and bareboat charterer
ITF (9 March 2023)
We have been informed that the Master, Cook and 2nd Eng were repatriated in December 2022. We are unsure about the Master, but other 2 crewmembers have not been paid and are going to sue the company. Since they left the vessel we have had no new information despite us continuing to press the shipowner, charterer and flag state, as we are really trying to get the outstanding wage for Ch. Eng, who has been waiting for it since August 2022.
