With reference to your communication, I would like to inform you that this Administration is actively working with ITF and the vessel managers to resolve the abandonment case.
We have received evidence of payment for part of the due wages and evidence of repatriation for a seafarer.
We expect to receive evidence of the remaining due wages shortly.
