Dear Jinhak
Re the Pan Prosperity – the crew were repatriated by the flag state (Panama) but the crew also decided to appoint a local lawyer in Venezuela – the lawyer was engaged on a private basis without the ITF’s participation in the legal action and we do not have further details on the action. I don’t have copies of the documents to which the correspondents below refer.
Best, Katie


Govt. of Panama (31 December 2020)
COMPLAINT CLOSED on September 13, 2017, because the shipowner paid the outstanding salaries and the repatriations were taking care. Based on this we request that this complaint be label as "RESOLVED".
According to the Database, on September 18, 2017, ITF indicated "the crew were repatriated by the flag state (Panama) but the crew also decided to appoint a local lawyer in Venezuela, the lawyer was engaged on a private basis without the ITF's participation in the legal action and we do not have further details on the action."

Govt. of Panama (20 March 2024)
