Situation remains very fluid. The crew have received their owed wages and there is no issue of repatriation. However, the shortages in provisions were only addressed recently. We are awaiting payment of the January salaries. The P&I club has confirmed that the financial securities are no longer valid.

After numerous reminders Equatorial Guinea have finally responded.
They are saying vessel is not registered under their flag and that registration is fraudulent.
See attached response.
The ship with the call sigh of 3CUBN is not registered under the flag of Equatorial Guinea. Those will be fraudulent certificates, thank you very much
