From ISWAN
The crew are in vulnerable status.
At least 1 Bangladeshi crew has completed 24 months on ship and some others more than 12 months at least.
The owner is not providing any support such as food and medical support to an injured seafarer.
Gouv. de Indonésie (28 juillet 2020)
Related to the current condition, we received information from our colleague from Indonesian Embassy in Bangkok, that the Indonesian seafarers are in good condition, and whole salaries have been paid.
This case is categorized as a Human Trafficking case, so they are currently staying at the shelter temporarily for giving their statement and further information.
We would like to extend our appreciation for Government of Thailand through related authority for their assistance on this case to be resolved.
Gouv. de Thaïlande (1 août 2020)
1. The vessel in question is anchoring in the port of Samutsakorn, Thailand, and still does not have a certain departure schedule.
2. All crews have received their salaries.
3. Some crews refused to return to work onboard the vessel and requested for repatriation. Those crews are under the State quarantine and have been taken care of by relevant authorities and their embassies in Thailand.
4. The Marine Department of Thailand was informed by the company that it is planned to change crews at the next port, Singapore.
5. The vessel was inspected by PSCOs and there were deficiencies found and need to be ratified before departure. This may need the flag State assistance.
