We have received a vessel abandonment report concerning the General Cargo Yi Li 1 ( IMO No.1059149 ) under flag of Panama. According to the report, the vessel was abandoned by the ship owner in Dongyin Island, Taiwan Province of China on 10th October 2025.

According to the information from ship owner, they are seeking assistance from Myanmar Embassy in Malaysia to get sign off permission from Malaysian Coast Guard. They will also arrange Myanmar Crews repatriation and outstanding wages.
