Financial aid of US$6,600 from the ITF were paid into the C/Eng bank account and all payments for off-signers' transfer, formalities and trip to Egypt was paid by the C/Eng. The remainer of the money was withdrawn in Cairo airport and shared equally between the seafarers as a pocket money, to enable them to get to their places of residence (bus tickets). The Palestinian company abandoned the ship blaming the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The insurance company did not engage, the Flag state provided no assistance. The Egyptian embassy in Ukraine tried to assist the seafarers and provide visa support.
