PHUKET: -- The Royal Thai Navy has seized seven of nine suspected illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) tuna fishing boats and charged three agents for presenting fake documents indicating the boats were registered in Bolivia.

 

Two of the nine boats have since fled Phuket.

 

Initially nine boats were seized at the Sri Thai Pier in Rassada last Tuesday (Nov 22), Royal Thai Navy Third Area Commander Vice Admiral Surapol Kuptaphan announced yesterday (Nov 28).

 

V/Adm Surapol also heads the Third Area Thailand Maritime Enforcement Coordinating Centre, which operates under the command of the Royal Thai Navy.

 

Navy officers discovered the boats were already at Sri Thai Pier in Rassada on Nov 16 and the captains were ordered to stay in port until documents presented had been identified.

 

The nine boats were named as: Yuyuna No 1, Yutuna No 3, Abubant 1, Abubant 3, Abubant 6, Abubant 9, Abubant 12, Shun Lai and Sheng Ji Qun 3.

 

“The vessels initially requested to port in Phuket in order to carry out repairs, and initial checks found the captains and crews were carrying all the correct paperwork,” V/Adm Surapol said.

 

“All crew were Filipino and Indonesian and the captains were from Taiwan, but the boats were registered in Bolivia,” he added.
