Have checked our files but cannot find report from Panama that vessel was deleted from their flag in June. We get monthly list from Panama and have checked June, July, August and September but vessel not appearing as cancelled / deleted.
Having said that have checked the Panama vessel website and vessel confirmed as CANCELLED although no date given.
Based on info available have updated our records and deleted vessel from Panama flag.
