Comments and observations
22 March 2026: Kuwait
(From the Maritime Transport Department)
The Maritime Department of Kuwait has been closely and actively following up on this matter, with particular attention to the welfare of the seafarers.
Upon receiving your email, we took immediate action by contacting the local shipping agent, who in turn reached out to the vessel owner. The owner has provided proof that the outstanding wages have been transferred to the seafarers (please find attached).
Please let us know if there is any seafarer who has not received their salary. We would also appreciate your confirmation once all seafarers have received their dues.
