(NLDO) - Fishing boats from Kien Giang go to Malaysian waters to buy seafood and then transport it to Vietnamese waters.
On the afternoon of November 14, the Command of Coast Guard Region 4 announced that it would continue to carry out the peak period against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) with a resolute spirit of fighting against violations without compromise. Coast Guard Force 4 has just discovered a fishing vessel with registration number of Kien Giang province (KG-94147-TS) traveling from the southern part of the overlapping area to Vietnam's waters.
Fishing boat KG-94147-TS was escorted by authorities to the port of Squadron 422/Flight Division 42 in Phu Quoc City for investigation and handling according to the provisions of law.
At the time of inspection, there were 5 crew members on board: Trinh Van Du, Tran Van Cuong, Nguyen Thong Hieu, Le Tuan Duong and Trinh Nghia. Of these, Trinh Van Du (born in 1986; residing in Song Doc town, Tran Van Thoi district, Ca Mau province) was the captain.
The ship is owned by Ms. Luu Thi Ngoc Duyen, located in An Hoa ward, Rach Gia city, Kien Giang province.
More seriously, 3/5 of the crew members did not have identification papers, and the captain did not have a fishing boat captain certificate as required. According to the captain's statement, the ship was transporting about 40 tons of various types of seafood.
Mr. Du confessed that on November 7, the ship completed departure procedures at the Kenh Dai Border Control Station/Tay Yen Border Post (An Bien District, Kien Giang Province).
