ISWAN stated that:
We are hearing the name of the company Ind- Aus Maritime Pvt Ltd through below mail and had no clue that they were managers before. We had only reported the attached abandonment form which do not have any details of owners mentioned in it and only collects and share information shared by the crew with us. We were informed by the crew that Mercator lines were the manager at time of abandonment and Indian maritime unions were also involved in follow up with the company-Mercator Lines.

Therefore, am afraid, I do not have any information regarding Ind-Aus Maritime Pvt Ltd.
