Updates
28 July 2022: France
In this case, the seafarers were repatriated by France using the resources of the abandoned Maritime Fund - a fund financed by the French State for an amount of 47,100 euros (repatriation + emergency aid for the seafarers)
In recent weeks we have had many exchanges with our colleagues in Panama to try to close this case. However, given that this case has been open for more than 10 years, neither France nor Panama is currently in a position to provide additional information concerning the payment of the crew's salaries.
We therefore propose that this case be declared inactive in the database.
