In reference to the GENERAL POLAD HASHIMOV which has been recorded below as being entered with West P&I Club recorded on Equasis on 01/02/2026.
On behalf of West P&I I kindly request that West’s name is removed from Equasis as West gave notice of termination of MLC Certificates in December 2025. The Flag State will have received notice of termination of West’s financial security. West is unable to respond to claims for wages where the minimum 2-month threshold was not met prior to 11 January 2026 ( the end of West’s termination notice period). Our understanding is that the 2 month minimum period was met after 11 January 2026.

I herewith would like to appreciate all the actions that Greece has taken regarding this reported abandonment case.
In this regard it may be helpful to note that according to the procedures of the IMO/ILO Joint Database of Abandonment of Seafarers a case of abandonment can only be considered as being resolved if, and only if, ILO has received clear advice from the Member State or relevant organization that reported the abandonment that:
(i) the totality of the crew has been successfully repatriated; and
(ii) the totality of all outstanding remuneration and contractual entitlements have been paid and duly received by all the crewmembers.
Therefore, I herewith would like to invite Liberia, who initially reported this abandonment case, to provide for an update on the status of this case. All information received will be duly recorded on the joint IMO/ILO database on abandonment of seafarers
