International Group of P&I Clubs

I have contacted the Shipowners Club who have reported that they have no record of the LEBBIE ever being insured by their Club. I have checked our own vessel search facility and the vessel is not insured with any of the other International Group Clubs. I would be grateful if the records could be updated to reflect this new information.

9 Sri Lankan crew were repatriated by the owner 11 April 2023 but 2 Sri Lankan crew decided to stay in Japan and refuse the company's offer of their return tickets and seeking more money from the owner.
