Thank you for the update re subject upload. A rather sad and unsettling history since 2006...

ACE-1 - IMO 8402670

International Labor Organization Report 2008

The vessel has been in Montelimar since November 2006 when the engine broke down, since then other deficiencies have kept it in port.

The crew complains of physical abuse by the Captain, who also withholds food, wages have not been paid since the crew joined the vessel in October and November last year.

The vessel and the manning agency, Sea Lane Poland, have a history with the ITF for non-payment of wages and substandard food.

The Captain stopped buying food after the ITF inspector visited the ship on March 17, 2008.

The vessel was detained by Port State Control on April 30, 2008.

Same year 2008 the 6 crew members were repatriated 5 from Myramar and the captain from Russia.

The ship remained in port for several years and in 2017 the ship suffered a beginning of fire in the cabin by some young vandals.

Nobody takes care of the ship as nobody wants to pay for the dismantling of the ship.

It seems that now in 2024 the port authority is going to take care of the dismantling of the ship.
