Paria Fuel Trading Company Limited says while it has not been in direct contact with the families of the four deceased LMCS divers or Mr Christopher Boodram, its attorneys have been exchanging correspondence with the legal representatives of those families that have presented claims for compensation.
It says the process is ongoing.
Paria explains it is aware of the pain, grief and financial hardship suffered by the families of the deceased divers and Mr Boodram as a result of the tragic events that occurred on February 25th 2022.
The company is exploring all available options as to how it can provide support to the families of the victims and Mr Boodram.
The process of addressing claims for compensation requires a considered and balanced approach, taking into account all relevant stakeholders, including LMCS, the employer of the impacted divers, as well as factoring in insurance coverage considerations.
To deviate from that process would not assist any interested parties and would more than likely lead to a delay in finding a resolution.
Paria and its insurers remain committed to finding a way forward as swiftly and as fairly as possible.
