We're facing an urgent matter involving Myanmar seafarers aboard the vessel Prosperity (IMO: 8864335). The ship was abandoned in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on 1st February 2024, leaving seven Myanmar seafarers with unpaid wages. We still need essential information such as their names, passport numbers, and SIRB numbers, to avoid hindering our efforts to resolve the issue with relevant SRPS companies in Myanmar. Your assistance in providing any additional information if you have would be greatly appreciated to take prompt action for the affected seafarers.
In the meantime, we would also try to contact local maritime authorities in this regard.

The Administration is fully aware of this situation and have already communicated with the shipowner of the Mongolian-flagged general cargo ship Prosperity (IMO 8864335) and the relevant parties involved. Prosperity is currently docked at the port of Taiwan. The Administration informed the PSC officer Mr. Wang, Chun-Yao to not release this vessel until the shipowner fulfills its obligation under the MLC, 2006 by promptly settling the outstanding salary matters and repatriating crew members to their home countries.
We will communicate with you and other pertinent parties promptly.
