The ITF have been following this case since March 2021. Wages, repatriation and provision orders have been slow, but have not fallen to abandonment status until now.
Vessel has been at deep anchorage most of the time, difficult to visit crew. Once the initial 6 crew signed off, there was no further communication from the crew, until January 26th when new Captain called.
Safe manning was reduced to 7 in August 2021.
Once repatriated, the crew are required to report to office in Odessa to be paid final wage in cash in person.
The ITF remain in contact with Belize flag and the attorney, periodically getting up dates on this case.
