Dear Sir,
Thank you for advising us of the situation.
Owners have confirmed that they have not abandoned either the crew or the vessel and, in fact, they have assured us that the outstanding wages will be paid by Tuesday, 19th June 2018 and the crew shall thereafter be repatriated. We will continue to apply pressure on owners from our end and will provide you with an update by next week.
Kind Regards,

Dear Mr Boer,
Reference is made to your below email.
Please find attached a copy of valid financial security in accordance with MLC Regulation 2.5 recently forwarded by the Owner.
We have not received any written notice from the insurer thus we assume that the financial security in accordance with MLC Regulation 4.2 remains valid.
Please find attached the information from the insurer which is self-explanatory.
According to the owners the outstanding wages will be paid by Tuesday, 19th June 2018 and the crew shall thereafter be repatriated.
Best regards

Dear Mr. Dulic,
Thank you for your message and information in response to the renewed call by IMO for comments on the abandoned crew of the ‘HALANI 1’ (IMO Number 7816379) earlier last week. I have duly noted that the ship owner is making arrangements to pay the salaries of the HALANI 1 crew and to repatriate them back home. I have also duly noted that meanwhile the same ship owner is also making efforts to sell the ‘HALANI 5’, which is a closely related abandonment case, in order to pay that crew as well and repatriate them back to their home town.
All this information will be duly recorded on the joint IMO/ILO Database on abandonment of Seafarers.
Thank you and kind regards,
(Relevant email)
Dear Sirs,
We are making arrangements to pay the salaries for the Halani-1 crew and repatriate them back home. Will revert with the plan shortly.
We are also in the meantime making efforts to sell Halani-5 and pay the crew as well as repatriate them back to their home town.
Also provisions have been ordered and same shall be supplied by Monday.
Both the vessels are in good operational state and provisions have been ordered.
We will submit the update on these vessels shortly.
Thanks n Regards,
Kamal Aggarwal
