Cap. 234 ст. 131Time of payment of wages. 

All wages to which a seaman may be entitled, subject to deductions made in accordance with this Act, shall be paid before or at the time the seaman lawfully leaves the ship at the end of his engagement; and in the event of a seaman’s wages or any part thereof not being so paid or settled, then, unless the delay is due to the act or default of the seaman or to any reasonable dispute as to liability or to any other cause not being the wrongful act or default of the owner or master, the seaman’s wages shall, for the period the seaman remains on board the vessel, continue to run and be payable until the time of the final settlement thereof:

Provided that should the ship concerned be subject to a judicial sale, the wages due to the seamen on board shall continue to accrue in favour of the seamen who continue to carry out their duties on board and shall continue to accrue either until the seamen leave the ship or until the ship is sold, whichever is the earlier. Following a judicial sale, wages shall not continue to accrue in favour of a seaman unless he is engaged by the new owner of the ship.
