Vessel has detained by the flag state.
Some payments have been gradually made to cover for November, December 2020 and January 2021.
We are seeking confirmation that the crew have been paid all outstanding wages.
The evidence of payments provided by the vessel managers are not convincing as they were documents signed by the crew that do not show exact amounts. No copies of bank transfers have been seen.
February wages remain unpaid at the current time

Gouv. de Philippines (5 mars 2021)
We referred this to our consulate in Dubai which reported last February 24, 2021 that they had been in touch with the vessel's Filipino Chief mate by telephone who said that the vessel was anchored in Fujairah, UAE. The Filipino Captain of the vessel disembarked and left for the Philippines on 19 February 2021 and before he disembarked, the crew members' unpaid salaries were settled by him. All 18 remaining Filipino crew members onboard the vessel are in good spirits and good health and the Filipino seafarer assured the Consulate and the welfare officer they will contact the consulate should they need further assistance.
The Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs in the Department of Foreign Affairs also wrote the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency about this matter last February 24, 2021.
We requested our Consulate in Dubai as well the DFA for additional information as regards repatriation of the seafarers and will inform you of any updates as soon as available.

I would just like to inform you that according to a report dated 8 March 2021 from the Philippine Consulate in Dubai, the Captain of MT Sea Power maintains that the issue on the back wages of the vessel's crew members has been resolved.
The Captain noted that when the complaint was filed, the only delay was in the issuance of the extra compensation for three (3) months (from November 2020 to January 2021), and one month fixed wage for the month of January. While the company was finalizing the payment plan, the Flag state boarded the ship on 08 February 2021 to conduct an investigation. Upon confirming that the extra wage payments were delayed for 3 months, the Flag state ordered the abandonment of the vessel until the company has paid the crew. On 15 February 2021, the company was able to settle all the outstanding remunerations of the crew and the Flag ordered the release of the vessel.
