I would like to provide an update regarding the outstanding wage complaint for STAR WAY (IMO 8693073).

Vessel name : Dream Wave/STAR WAY
IMO Number : 8693073
Flag : United Republic Of Tanzania
Vessel Type : General Cargo Ship
Following our inquiry, the RO has confirmed that the outstanding wages have been fully paid to the affected seafarers.
According to the RO's latest update, the crew members joined the vessel before the current Owners took over the ownership of the vessel. Therefore, the outstanding wages were related to the previous Owner and management. However, the current Owners have settled the outstanding wages.
Please find the attached payment confirmation from the current Owners for your review.
We would appreciate it if you could update this information in the ILO/IMO Joint Database and kindly close this case at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
