Good day,
 
In order to be in process of obtaining visa for crews we are here by writing to elaborate as to how the task developed at Immigration and passport controlling Police office at Tehran &amp; B.Abbas branches:
 
-First of all to clear more and in reply to your concerns , please note as we maintained before and as per regulation here in Iranian ports ,for Cabotage shipping,  all vessels must have either Iranian flag or being of Iranian nationality. Except for this,  all foreign vessels have to obtain work permit during the period which they are staying At Iranian territories.    
 
As you are well aware the crews were supposed to be changed as quickly as possible during 10 days ; for which, as per the owner’s request , discussion were made with Police Immigration offices so that we would be able to have more time for coordination between the guys involved. It shouldn’t be left unsaid that obtaining the port clearance generally accomplishes in shortest time and the delaying of the vessel is for the crews and the formalities to be processed exactly. Anyway , in order to conclude the case we took so many steps as below:  
 
-We had more than 15 session and meeting with top management of Tehran and B.Abbas immigration police offices and managed to get their agreement for continuation of Mt Chem,s duties under condition set by Immigration police:  
 
- A fine of USD 12370 supposed to be paid and after haggling the price ultimately agreed with the amount of USD 10500 as the staying and illegal staying fee of the crews.
 
- New crews staves must have been obtained by staying visa as work permit and the cost of which to be advised to owner.
  
-it was agreed that exit of the crews to be inputted in police automation system 15 days later so that the owner of the vsl to be able to have enough time to hire new crews.
 
-the process of file creating for no entry of the Chem’s crews took long for a week and since the start we are in constant following up and documents gathering.
 
-Today the illegal staying cost of crews are to be settled with the relevant immigration offices.
 
-Further for the aforesaid issue , we had more than 10 meeting with below organization :
 
Port &amp; Maritime Organization
General Directorate of Maritime Affairs of the Port &amp; Maritime Organization of the State
Maritime Directorate of Shahid Rajaee Port
 
And the above organization agreed to have a blind eye on the operation of Mt Chem. Also charterer made require coordination so that the desired conclusion to be obtained from above mentioned organizations.
