I refer to your report below of the LEBBIE, IMO No 4682894 which is entered with West P&I. I have contacted the Club, West P&I and can report the following:
West is actively involved in repatriation and payment of outstanding wages in this matter. Local authorities have recently confirmed that 2 crew members may leave the vessel. We kindly request that authorities allow the remainder of the crew to also depart without delay. We remain ready to arrange repatriation once authorities confirm we may do so.
