Correspondence
Email sent to the contact address for PT Shafar Abadi Indonesia. A hard copy was also mailed to the company.
The email (and letter) asked about two Indonesian deckhands placed by the agency on the Wei Yu 18 Chinese squid jigger in 2019 and the conditions they were subjected to on board. The email said Fadhil died on board, and asked the following questions: 1) Have you paid Fadhil’s family for the insurance that they’re owed and compensation for their loss in some form? If so, how much? 2) Could you please answer for some of the discrepancies we pointed out such as the fact that Fadhil was not allowed to leave even though his contract had expired and despite a medical emergency? 3) Why did the reconciliation letter state that Fadhil died from falling overboard when it is clear from photos that he died while he was on the ship? 4) What were the conditions on board the ship that contributed to a widespread outbreak of illness over a short period of time?
