(From the shipping company)

Thank you for your lack of knowledge and supporting illegimate and fake seamans for your desired extorcious , one sided ill behaviour for your personal benefits .
At least before mailing against us unblock us . And further i will ask my lawyer to put a criminal defermation case for spoiling our company image with the support of fake complaints .

Please note that the owners of this vessel have been repeatedly reported to the ILO/IMO Joint Database on Abandonment of Seafarers for failure to pay wages and failure to repatriate.

ITF believes that they are responsible for the following vessels.

CS 28 aka Govinda (IMO 8309048; Flag Unknown)
SHREENATH JI (IMO 9361926; Flag Panama)
Sudarshan (IMO 1043592; Flag Unknown)

The company has routinely failed to pay wages and then accused masters of wrongdoing in an effort to avoid paying what was agreed. They have also routinely issued threats of violence, imprisonment and unjustified legal action.

In my view, the actions of the company amount to forced labour.

ITF urges all responsible states to take appropriate action in relation to these cases immediately.

We also request that ILO attach this statement to the abandonment records of each of the named vessels.

All seafarers received their outstanding wages except the Master, who has to stay on board because of the investigation.

Disputed.

In particular, the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS) of India is kindly requesting that the list of Indian seafarers who were onboard the vessel ‘SUDARSHAN’ is provided to them at your earliest convenience, so that the Directorate can take the necessary actions.

Therefore, I would call in particular on Togo, as the responsible flag State at the time of the abandonment commenced, to provide the requested information.

(From the Directorate General of Shipping of India)
With reference to your email dated 22 May 2025 regarding the abandonment of the vessel 'SUDARSHAN' (IMO No. 1043592), we have noted that there is no available data on Indian seafarers working on board this vessel in the E-Governance system of the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS).

2. In light of this, it is challenging to examine the matter further without the details of Indian seafarers currently working on board the vessel. Therefore, we kindly request you to provide the necessary details of the Indian seafarers to help resolve this issue.
