| Comments and Observations: | Govt. of Mongolia (17 May 2024)
The Administration is fully aware of this situation and have already communicated with the shipowner of the Mongolian-flagged general cargo ship Prosperity (IMO 8864335) and the relevant parties involved. Prosperity is currently docked at the port of Taiwan. The Administration informed the PSC officer Mr. Wang, Chun-Yao to not release this vessel until the shipowner fulfills its obligation under the MLC, 2006 by promptly settling the outstanding salary matters and repatriating crew members to their home countries.
We will communicate with you and other pertinent parties promptly.
Govt. of China (20 May 2024)
We acknowledge receipt of your email regarding the request for information on the vessel PROSPERITY (IMO 8864335).
We are currently verifying the information with the relevant departments. Thank you for your patience.
Govt. of Myanmar (20 May 2024)
We're facing an urgent matter involving Myanmar seafarers aboard the vessel Prosperity (IMO: 8864335). The ship was abandoned in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on 1st February 2024, leaving seven Myanmar seafarers with unpaid wages. We still need essential information such as their names, passport numbers, and SIRB numbers, to avoid hindering our efforts to resolve the issue with relevant SRPS companies in Myanmar. Your assistance in providing any additional information if you have would be greatly appreciated to take prompt action for the affected seafarers.
In the meantime, we would also try to contact local maritime authorities in this regard.
Govt. of Mongolia (22 May 2024)
The Administration received a confirmation from the owner that they will pay all outstanding salaries next Monday. I will engage in further discussion with the owner regarding repatration and obtain their final confirmation on the salary issue. We will follow up this case daily.
ITF (23 July 2024)
The owner paid and repatriated 3 crew in June 2024 and paid the remaining 5 crew till the end of May 2024
