For what concerns the outstanding wages, the wages for January have been paid on 10/03/2022. The managers have informed us that the February wages will be settled on the 5th of April.
For what concerns the repatriation, we have received evidence that the managers have started the application for the relevant visas and are arranging the flights for the two seafarers.
This Administration has contacted the vessel's P&I (which is EF Marine PTE LTD) to inform them of the current situation and to notify them that this Administration will call on them to fulfil their obligations as financial security provider, in case the vessel's owners fail to follow through with the proposed way forward.
Maritime Cook Islands will keep working with all involved parties in order to resolve the current abandonment case and will inform in due course the Organisation of any further development
