The Syrian seafarer situation remains unresolved, he is still on board after 11 years and it owed 9 years wages. 4 of the 5 Syrian seafarers who joined the vessel last are now owed 6 months wages.

No progress. The mental health of the seafarer is critical due to his 12 years on board and total lack of a solution
