| Comments and Observations: | ITF (7 December 2021)
Crew members in question have retained their own attorney to represent their interests. Additional crew members are reportedly unpaid but refuse to come forward due to fear of reprisals.
Brought to ITF by crew’s attorney after no to minimal action taken by the company and flag state to resolve the claim.
ITF (6 April 2022)
We are currently awaiting further update from the crew’s lawyer.
