The Kattegat: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On October 14, 2013, a request for the arrest of the ferry 'Kattegat' was submitted by 3F Sømændene. The vessel, which operates under the ownership of Paschamo Shipping Company Ltd., based in Cyprus, found itself in a precarious situation. The Danish crew's contracts with FRS Ship Management Limited came to an end on October 11 due to unprofitable operations. Following this, the ferry was set to head to Spain for necessary overhauls before embarking on a new route between Spain and North Africa. The unusual termination of contracts and the hiring of a new international crew in Århus prompted concerns, leading to a request for wage security. This matter was escalated to the Bailiff's Court in Aarhus on October 17. Fortunately, on October 18, Paschamo Shipping secured the required financial guarantee of 4.8 million Danish crowns, allowing the 'Kattegat' to continue its journey from Århus.
