See below update on the Anatoly Kolesov case.
So all seafarers are now repatriated but we cannot confirm that they have been paid - which seems unlikely.
At this point I would call this case 'disputed'.

2 crew still on board, they expect to be repatriated soon. Wages still o/s.
15 May 2017: International Transport Workers' Federation
Vessel still in shipyard, 2 new seafarers on board, now also complaining of unpaid wages. Previous crew were repatriated with half wages and have a lawyer dealing with claim for the rest
