The crew received their home pay up to October 2022, and shipboard pay up to August 2022. The vessel has been under arrest by the Singapore court since October 25, 2022 and tied up in the Pax ocean shipyard.
January 3, 2023: The Liberian Administration requested both
the Shipowner and P&I club for their action to resolve the abandonment case.
January 4, 2022: The Shipowner informed the Administration that the vessel has been under arrest by the Singapore court since October 25, 2022, due to commercial disputes. The vessel is in the care of the Sheriff appointed agent, who is responsible for maintaining the crew and vessel. The shipowner has paid the crew wages for August, September, and October without reimbursement from their principal. The Shipman was terminated on November 8, 2022, to limit their liabilities.
January 5, 2023: The Administration contacted the Sheriff appointed agent to provide information regarding their plan for the crew repatriation and the payment of their outstanding wages.
January 20, 2023: The P&I Club informed the Administration that the arresting Party had applied for an order to sell the vessel under a judicial sale. The Arresting Party will pay the crew outstanding wages and cover the repatriation cost. The Club will pay any shortfall and claim from the judicial sale proceeds.
January 21, 2023: The agent informed the Administration that they were discussing with all concerned parties to provide funds to pay the outstanding wages of the current crew and duly repatriate them.
January 23, 2023: The Administration reminded the CLUB of their obligations and requested them to fulfill their obligation under MLC Standard A 2.5.2 as there is no defined timeline regarding the judicial sale of the vessel. Therefore, the Club should not wait for the Judicial sale before discharging her obligation.
