The Embassy in Madrid reported that vessel ZEIN docked at Las Palmas Port on 15 October 2021 and left 16 October 2021. Per Las Palmas port Authority, it is currently outside Spain's jurisdiction and is moving towards West Africa. It currently has 35 Filipino crew members on board and according to the local manning agency, it was never abandoned. It stayed on anchorage for almost two months in Iskederun, Turkey due to some crew members being infected with COVID-19 and sailed to Las Palmas for loading food and bunkering. The local manning agency clarified that salaries of Filipino crew members and their home allotments are updated and there is also enough food provision on board.

The insurer West of England have confirmed with the Club that they are no longer the insurers for this vessel. The MLC certificate was cancelled on 30 November 2021.
