Dear Jan de Boer,

Thank you for the information provided.

In regards to the vessel "Pan Prosperity", I would like to let you know that we have been informed from Panama that a case file has been opened and the vessel is under restriction to leave the registry. As soon as we receive a new information we will let you know.

Kind regards,

Dear Jinhak
Re the Pan Prosperity – the crew were repatriated by the flag state (Panama) but the crew also decided to appoint a local lawyer in Venezuela – the lawyer was engaged on a private basis without the ITF’s participation in the legal action and we do not have further details on the action. I don’t have copies of the documents to which the correspondents below refer.
Best, Katie


Govt. of Panama (31 December 2020)
COMPLAINT CLOSED on September 13, 2017, because the shipowner paid the outstanding salaries and the repatriations were taking care. Based on this we request that this complaint be label as "RESOLVED".
According to the Database, on September 18, 2017, ITF indicated "the crew were repatriated by the flag state (Panama) but the crew also decided to appoint a local lawyer in Venezuela, the lawyer was engaged on a private basis without the ITF's participation in the legal action and we do not have further details on the action."

ITF
Although no written response received from the owners’ insurer Hydor, the ship’s Master was contacted by Hydor and told over the phone that no cover under the latest Amendments to the MLC 2006 on abandonment of seafarers had been arranged.
