At the time of the notification of this abandonment case the flag State was Unknown as it is still today on IMO GISIS, but the flag had been Panama just before the abandonment date so they were also included in the notification. We were then informed by them that they had already cancelled the registration. For as far I can oversee we were not informed about a new registration.

No progress. The mental health of the seafarer is critical due to his 12 years on board and total lack of a solution
27 November 2023: International Transport Workers' Federation
The Syrian seafarer situation remains unresolved, he is still on board after 11 years and it owed 9 years wages. 4 of the 5 Syrian seafarers who joined the vessel last are now owed 6 months wages.
