Repatriation status:11 April 2019: Repatriation pending

23 April 2019: Other
The Insurance company, MS AMLIN has made the following efforts:

Starting from the Scout, after strenuous efforts and constant communication, they have been advised that the crew has been paid and that repatriation has been taken care by the owners (Trelco).

As for the Markabi Phil, they wrote to Trelco requesting an update on whether Trelco has effected payment to the crew of the Markabi Phil as well.

Finally, as regards the Markabi Griffin the insurers are afraid that they can't assist with the vessel for two reasons.
1. Their crew is detained by the Qatari authorities as they are accused of a crime and they cannot step in.
2. The alleged crime took place at 4/9 and MS AMLIN became the insurers at the end of November. Until the matter is clarified, it is only the embassies that can assist the seafarers, and MS AMLIN have informed them about the situation. If the issue of detainment is resolved, then any issues pertaining to the insurance policy haS to be dealt with by the previous insurer, as the matter arose before MS AMLIN insured the vessel.
