To the IMO:
We're facing an urgent matter involving Myanmar seafarers aboard the vessel Low Carbon (IMO: 9132404).
The ship was abandoned in Penang Malaysia, on 1st April 2024, leaving nine 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.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
