I am wondering if you may be able to let me know when a few of the abandonments of seafarers under St Kitts & Nevis ships will be amended to show the case as being resolved? I am referring to the below vessels
Emano 11
Abandoned 2024-04-11
This vessel was no longer abandoned and resolved by 29th April 2025, and we have confirmation of this from ITF - ***** - if you would like to see that also?
I look forward to hearing from you.
