No irregularities were found during the course of the officials’ inspections.

 

Capt Suthep Toim, commander of the Region 8 Marine Police, led officials to inspect Phuket’s fishing boats at Rassada Pier, and also one out at sea, at 3:30pm yesterday (Nov 2).

Both, monthly maintenance payments to ensure timely alerts about upcoming activities.  The same thing that happens with stall holders in tourist areas.

that's an amazing two days so far:

 

no officials linked to drug crimes

no irregularities in fishing

 

maybe tomorrow will see the end of brake failures?

Isn't half of Thailand's fishing fleet on strike in protest to IUU vessel standards defined by C188 Work in Fishing Convention and requesting that immigrant workers be self-registered? That might reduce the odds of the government finding vessels out of compliance with IUU.

The sailors still do not wear state of the art life-jackets.

I thought this was exceptionally good news until I, too, soon realised that it was a case of Thai boats being inspected by Thai officials, at which point I lost all confidence in the outcome.  It is a bit like Thailand never seeming to find evidence of corruption in any Thai project, despite the public being fully aware of it.  When there is overwhelming evidence of corruption (Rolls Royce and expensive watches come to mind), investigations are delayed and delayed until it is hoped that the public will have lost interest.
