(From the Republic of the Marshall Islands Maritime Administrator)
It has been confirmed that 9 personnel were repatriated yesterday 16 January 2025 from Xinsha port, and a further two officers C/O and 2/E were repatriated on about 8 January 2025.
During the attendance, the inspector was not approached regarding any complaints regarding conditions aboard the vessel.
The complaints raised were in relation to contractual disputes. At no time was the vessel or crew abandoned, having transited with a cargo of grain. Accordingly, the Republic of the Marshall Islands considers this investigation closed, and requests the incident is not recorded as an abandonment case in the IMO/ILO joint database.
