New ship management have been engaged. Seems to be working. The chief engineer is the only repatriated crew still to receive his $6K+. He left the vessel after reaching a separate agreement himself with the owner.

P&I certificate had expired on 23rd Sept.2017. It was renewed for the purpose of shifting the vessel but now expired again. P&I refused to acknowledge that the crew were abandoned in spite of the case meeting the criteria set out in A2.5.2. They maintained that the owner had not severed ties with the crew in spite of non-payment of wages for more than 2 months.
