Dear *****
Geetings from Algeciras - I'm fine, I hope that you too.
No, unfortunately the outstanding wages hasn't been paid. we tried to negotiate with the Shipowner ***** but the results were unsuccessful.
Our lawyer, ***** is gathering information to take a legal action on behalf of the crew.
The above mentioned vessel remains detained by the PSC and by the Court in Algeciras Port. She is arrested by 12 different parties.
If you need further information don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards.
