(From the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) of India)

With reference to your email dated 28 Apr 2025 regarding the abandonment of the vessel ‘HASKAL’, IMO Number 8605480,, it has come to our attention that there is no available data on Indian seafarers working on board this vessel in the E-Gov system of DGS.

2. In light of this, it is challenging to examine the matter further without the details of Indian seafarers currently working on board the vessels. Therefore, we kindly request you to provide the necessary details of the Indian seafarers to help resolve this issue.

Therefore, IMO would call in particular on the flag State Mongolia to provide the requested information.
