From Government of Curacao
Regarding the Wisconsin case in the Port of Willemstad, please be advised as follows from the port state authority:
1. The ship is still detained in port state by MAC since august 20th;
2. No corrective plan of action has been received from Togo flag administration at this point;
3. Currently, 3 crew are onboard, other crew is sheltered on the island;
4. MLC complaint still unresolved, although owner claims crew has been paid and supplied - Togo flag is seeking proof of this;
5. Agent forwarded message dated October 6, 2020 from ITF representative in Panama, indicating vessel is not considered abandoned by ITF - Togo flag is seeking confirmation of this from owner/ITF
6. Both crew and local agent seized vessel via local court case - current status and payment of crew not known to MAC
MAC awaits further communication from Togo flag on the above matters and until then, the port state detention remains in place.
