Shipowner Delays Repairs: Crew Awaits Instructions After Assessing Damage

A ship's crew is reporting a delay in repairs after assessing damage to the vessel's protection bar and ladders. According to the crew, the shipowner has not provided specific repair instructions. They only requested an evaluation of the damage.

Despite this hurdle, the crew proactively estimated the materials needed for repairs and these have already been supplied on board. However, without clear instructions from the shipowner, the repairs cannot be carried out. This delay raises concerns about the prioritization of crew safety and vessel maintenance.
