Six Cambodians were among the eight trafficked fishermen recently rescued from a Thai-owned cargo ship off of Papua New Guinea, officials with the International Organization for Migration confirmed yesterday, the latest in an ongoing crackdown on slave-staffed trawlers operating illegally in far-flung foreign waters.

“We can confirm six Cambodian VOTs [victims of trafficking] and two from Myanmar in one vessel,” said IOM project manager Paul Dillon in a text message yesterday.

“All have now moved to an IOM transit centre in Port Moresby.”

The rescues come after a four-month investigation by the Associated Press discovered two refrigerated cargo ships off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
