It is ongoing though with progress.
There is an absolutely outstanding organisation based in the UK; ISWAN. As helpful and responsible as you would hope a charity would be, but quick and efficient which charities mostly are not. As well as their own funds they are a contact/information point for many other charities. Their knowledge of the various funds and charities available to seafarers and the real and practical help they offer is admirable.
In the very unlikely event that you ever need to know;
