Re the Pan Prosperity – the crew were repatriated by the flag state (Panama) but the crew also decided to appoint a local lawyer in Venezuela – the lawyer was engaged on a private basis without the ITF’s participation in the legal action and we do not have further details on the action. I don’t have copies of the documents to which the correspondents below refer.
