Popular Post webfact Posted February 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2022 By Natthaphon Sangpolsit BANGKOK (NNT) - The Royal Thai Police have announced a national operation to inspect fishing vessels across the country, in an attempt to suppress illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing in Thailand. The move follows a downgrade of the Kingdom’s status on the United States’ Trafficking in Persons report. The inspection is being launched for some 10,000 commercial vessels, in collaboration with relevant agencies. Police are also working with the Department of Fisheries, the Marine Department, the Department of Labor Protection and Welfare, and the Thai Maritime Enforcement Command Center to establish a mutual guideline for fishing equipment inspection. Pol Lt Gen Surachate Hakparn, assistant commissioner-general of the Royal Thai Police, said the effort will help enhance tracing and monitoring systems in Thailand’s commercial fishing industry. He also said the lack of such an industry-wide inspection over the past two years led to the downgrade of Thailand’s status on the Trafficking in Persons report to Tier 2 Watchlist, from the Tier 2 status previously. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-02-07 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Misterwhisper Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Perhaps, if the venerable police force had done their job and "mass inspected" fishing fleets BEFORE the status downgrade, there wouldn't have been a downgrade in the first place, making this sudden scrambling unnecessary. Just a thought. Edited February 7, 2022 by Misterwhisper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for my country after a gas boiler exploded all of a sudden checks were made in all places. Governments often react this way after a problem. Not an really Thai thing but a human thing. Just think of all those people starting to exercise after a heart attack. They did not do it before. Its human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
