Ten Cambodian workers are being held at Tarempa Immigration office on Riau Island off Sumatra in Indonesia, according to Chum Sounry, spokesman for Ministry of Foreign Affairs.



He said on Tuesday an Indonesian navy patrol had intercepted a Malaysian fishing boat recently and discovered the workers.



“The Cambodian embassy in Indonesia is working with the Indonesian authorities to release these 10 workers so that they can return home,” he said, adding embassy officials have also contacted the Malaysian boat’s owners to pay for the men’s salaries and the cost of returning home.



So far this year, more than 300 Cambodian fishermen have been rescued and sent back home while working on Thai fishing vessels and intercepted by Indonesian patrols.

Malaysian ship detained for poaching fish

A surveillance ship belonging to the Indonesian Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has detained a Malaysian fishing vessel KM SLFA 2675 for poaching fish in the waters of Malacca Strait.

"It was intercepted by the surveillance ship Hiu 004 while conducting illegal fishing in the waters of Malacca Strait in North Sumatra on December 13, 2015, with around 300 kilograms of fish aboard as evidence," Asep Burhanudin, the director general of fisheries and marine resource surveillance (PSDKP), stated here on Wednesday.

He said the ship was intercepted while conducting illegal fishing without proper licensing documents from the Indonesian government.

The KM SLFA 2675 vessel, weighing 56 gross tons, was also caught using illegal fishing equipment, such as a trawl, which can harm the fish and marine resources.

The ship and its crew have been detained on charges of allegedly violating articles in the fishery law, which carries a sentence of up to six years of imprisonment and a maximum fine of Rp20 billion.

The KM SLFA 2675 vessel has been detained along with a trawl, GPS navigation equipment, compass, communication radio, and around 300 kilograms of varied species of fish.

The evidence and five crew members from Myanmar have been taken to the PSDKP office in Belawan, North Sumatra.

The Indonesian government has sunk ships found fishing illegally in its waters to protect its fish supply.(*)

Indonesia to Fight Illegal Fishing With New Google App

The Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Ministry, in cooperation with Global Fishing Watch, will launch an application called “Google Global Fishing Watch” to help Indonesia ward off poachers. The GGFW will allow the country to thoroughly monitor its waters as reportedly no vessels can escape the high-tech program's radar, so there is no way for fish poachers to evade authorities.

Ambassador Hoang Anh Tuan visited the Vietnamese fishermen detained in Indonesia.

Tuan told Tien Phong Newspaper that he was completely opposed to illegal actions by the fishermen, but the embassy was responsible for the prisoners’ welfare. He noted that the embassy had tried to help get the fishermen released early.

According to the ambassador, 620 Vietnamese fishermen had been arrested in Indonesian territorial waters compared to just around 250 in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The fishermen are mainly from the provinces of Quang Binh, Binh Dinh, Binh Thuan, Kien Giang and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

Under the Indonesian laws, any foreign fishing boat which violates the country’s territorial waters will be sunk. The Indonesian side often detain captains and first mates. Tuan claimed that the increasing numbers of Vietnamese fishermen violating Indonesian waters was accidental.

Italy buying less Vietnamese tuna, much more from Indonesia

Exports of tuna from Vietnam to Italy have declined dramatically this year despite the ongoing economic recovery in the European country, according to new statistics from Vietnam Customs – published by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

The Southeast Asian country’s tuna exports to Italy for the nine months through September 2015 declined 39 percent year-on-year to around USD 9.5 million (EUR 8.9 million).

Furthermore, whereas last year loins were the main tuna product exported by Vietnam to Italy, accounting for 93 percent of its total tuna exports to the market and valued at around USD 14.5 million (EUR 13.5), this year the trade has slumped to just USD 926,000 (EUR 862,626), accounting for only 9.2 percent of Vietnam’s total tuna exports to the market.

In contrast, Vietnam’s exports of fresh, live, frozen and dried tuna to the market increased 15-fold to a value of USD 8.3 million (EUR 7.7 million).

While Italy is no longer in recession, consumer spending has remained at a low level. In the first half of this year, the country imported USD 410 million (EUR 382 million) worth of tuna, down 19.5 percent year-on-year.

According to the International Trade Centre (ITC), Italy is currently the 5th largest tuna importing market in the world, sourcing products from 42 different countries. Its main suppliers are Indonesia, Ecuador and Mauritius, while Vietnam now ranks the 13th among non-EU tuna sources.

With the exception of Indonesia, Italy’s tuna imports from all countries decreased in H1 2015. In this period, the Italian market spent around USD 35 million (EUR 32.6 million) on Indonesian tuna products, up 133.6 percent year-on-year. Almost all of those imports were loins.

Vietnam seeks to buy more seafood from RI

Vietnam is looking to increase its fisheries imports from Indonesia, a diplomat has said.

“We imported US$8.90 million worth of seafood during the first four months of this year. This was almost half of the $17.32 million fisheries products that we imported from Indonesia during the same period in 2014,” Vietnam Embassy first secretary Trung Truong Xuan said during a half day seminar on Friday.

According to the General Department of Vietnam Customs, last year Indonesia exported $43.98 million worth of seafood to Vietnam.

The half-day seminar, which featured several prominent agricultural and aquatic companies from Vietnam, was organized by the Embassy of Vietnam and inaugurated by Vietnamese Ambassador to Indonesia Nguyen Xuan Thuy.

Vietnam, a country of 95 million people, could become a major market for Indonesia’s fisheries products.

“Vietnam has been buying shrimp from Ecuador and India. Now Vietnam wants to buy our shrimp but we don’t have enough stock. Many shrimp farms closed down recently,” businessman Thomas Darmawan told The Jakarta Post on the sidelines of the seminar.

Besides shrimp, Vietnam is interested in buying seaweed, crabs and ornamental fish from Indonesia.

Well, it seems a never ending story of fishing vessels trespassing territories. How many of these poor fishermen has GPS on their boats that properly demarcated no-go zones? Besides that, perhaps over-fishing has depleted stocks in certain areas & drove them to commit trespassing. Whatever their nationality, I pity these poor fishermen...

no need to pity them, it's all about National Interest. Some countries want to increase their economic by conducting fishing although must commit some crimes, our just want to protect our fishing ground to be used for our local fishermen.

Albeit, any vessels who can conduct fishing thousands miles from their homeports is usually large vessels and not poorly equipped at all.
