Circumstances
The ship is also staying at the same shipbuilding company as the Shun Da since 29 March 2016. The majority of the crew were repatriated on 30 Sept and 02 Oct. All are owed wages and are waiting for the payments from the owner. The Masters of the Yong Win and Shun Da had a meeting with the owner on 22 Sept and signed an agreement regarding the payment of outstanding wages. The first payment was paid but no second payments have been made to the offsigners. Food is being supplied by local agent.

Three vessels from the same Chinese owner: Amiri, Shun Da and Yong Win 18 have problems of unpaid wages, intermittent supply of food, water & fuel, & refusal to repatriate or engage with crew are located in and around Hai Phong.

Three cases (Shun Da, Amiri and Yong Win 18) were already resolved but it was reported that some crew of these vessels had not been paid. Considering that their claim pre-dates the abandonment report, the current status (resolved) is not changed.
I write with reference to the Shun-Da, Amiri and Yong Win vessels that were all abandoned by the same company in China and reported to the database in 2016. The cases have now been marked resolved on the database because an arrangement was reached with the new owner to pay outstanding wages of crew on board. Unfortunately some other crew members who were on board previously and repatriated without pay have now contacted our union asking what’s happening since information has been circulated about the case being resolved. I think we have to consider that their claim pre-dates the abandonment report so the case should still be marked resolved, but could you add a note to the record saying that some former crewmembers from these vessels still have outstanding wages.
I hope that makes sense.
