Govt. of Mauritius (3 February 2022)
Regarding the new abandonment case of the PSD 104, it will be highly appreciated if IMO could kindly provide us with additional information, especially on the operator /manager which has been mentioned as Mauritius. This will help us produce further comments on the matter.



Govt. of Portugal (4 February 2022)
Our understanding is that Mastshipping Lda (IMO Company no 1986477) no longer owns “PSD 104” (IMO 9191802) since March 2021.

The certificate of registry issued in July last year by the Zanzibar Maritime Authority which was attached in your previous e-mail mentions that the registered owner is Quartet Solutions LLC (IMO Company no 6283117) from Oman.

IHS Maritime and GISIS records also have this information.



ITF (10 February 2022)
Vessel has been arrested by the crew with legal assistance from the ITF. A petition to sell the vessel has been made.
Working with the local Mission to Seafarers and SAMSA the ITF has provided funds for provisions and fuel. Between us we are also arranging for the seafarers to be vaccinated.
The owner continues to try and coerce the crew into accepting less than they are entitled to.
The owner of this vessel also owns the PSD2 which is also abandoned in Durban.
