Thank you for your message regarding the M/V JIETAI 8. Upon receiving the case, China immediately initiated an investigation. We contacted the seafarer recruitment and placement service agency in China for this vessel to obtain relevant evidence. After conducting the investigation, China confirms that the six(6) Chinese seafarers on board have fully received their wages normally from September 2025 to date and have not raised any requests for repatriation.
