We have initiated legal proceedings against Wagenborg, one of the larger Dutch shipping companies, to obtain information that is essential for our case.
Specifically, we are requesting access to all Collective Bargaining Agreements (CAOs and CBAs) applied to Filipino and Indonesian seafarers, crew lists showing the nationalities and roles of seafarers on board, and information about the corporate structure of the Wagenborg group of companies.
In November 2025, we formally requested this information directly from Wagenborg. They did not respond. We therefore had no choice but to seek access through the courts, using the new Dutch rules on preliminary disclosure (voorlopige bewijsverrichtingen).
Receiving the requested information will make the case stronger. This step is a necessary part of building the strongest possible case for fair pay and equal treatment for all seafarers. We will keep you updated as the proceedings develop.
