(from the Directorate General of Shipping)
With reference to the mail cited below, I am directed to inform that, as per the records available on the Directorate General of Shipping website, no crew list is reflected for the vessel Al-Mutlaa (8105595).
In light of this, it is challenging to examine the matter further without the details of Indian seafarers currently working on board the vessel. Therefore, we kindly request that the relevant details (either CDC No. or passport No) of the seafarers serving on board the above-mentioned vessel may kindly be provided to this Directorate at the earliest, so as to enable us to expedite the necessary action in the matter.
Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Accordingly, at the time the seafarers joined the vessel, AL-MUTLAA was no longer registered under the Kuwait flag.
