In particular, ITF, but also the authorities of Egypt, are requested to provide for the crew list and name of the RPS provider at the earliest, as well as their contact number, copies of passport, visa and local contact details of the seaport authorities to enable the authorities of India to take up the matter with local authorities.

All the crew wages have been paid, assisted by the lawyer offered by the ITF on legal assistance basis. We cannot confirm if the family of the Indian seafarer who passed away was paid his wages. The seafarers, as well as the families of the deceased Indian seafarer are claiming compensation for the accident that led to the death of 3 seafarers.
