Now THAT's how you deal with poachers! Indonesian navy blows up illegal foreign fishing vessels in spectacular fashion after confiscating ships and arresting crew ~ dailymail.co.uk

• The Indonesian Navy has taken a hard stance against foreign poachers operating its waters
• The crew of the two ships were arrested before the ships were blown up in the country's Ambon Bay
• Indonesia loses about £15.3bn annually from illegal fishing and there are currently an estimated 5,400 illegal ships

Two foreign fishing boats suspected of conducting illegal fishing activities are blown up by the Indonesian navy in Ambon bay, Indonesia, 21 December 2014. The destruction of the Papua New Guinea-flagged vessels follows a government ruling to sink almost all foreign ships which carry out illegal fishing activities in the waters of Indonesia.

'The ships have gone through legal procedures at the court in Ambon and their owners were found guilty of stealing fish from Indonesian waters. We must sink these ships so that other foreign ships will think twice before fishing illegally in our territory,' said navy spokesman Commodore Manahan Simorangkir.

This is a responsible government right here. Taiwan issued a warning to its fishermen to not break laws in foreign territories. This is what a responsible govt do, to respect another country's law and sovereignty, instead of just blindly fight for its nationals even after they have committed crimes on foreign territory.

Jakarta, Dec. 19 (CNA) Taiwan has warned its fishermen of the severe consequences of illegal fishing after four Taiwanese fishing boats were detected operating illegally in Indonesian waters, the country's representative in Jakarta said Friday.

Chang Liang-jen said the representative office and Taiwan's Fisheries Agency have urged Taiwanese fishing boats to avoid the practice because Indonesia's government has vowed to crack down on illegal fishing operations by foreign vessels.

"No specific countries are being targeted. Fishing vessels from any country will be severely punished if illegally fishing in Indonesia," Chang said in response to questions about the four Taiwanese vessels suspected of operating in Indonesian waters on Thursday.

From the news, also stated that our Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, asked Taiwan's government to warn the fishermen and to publicly declare that it does not support any illegal fishing conduct. Good response from Taiwanese gov. Hats off for their cooperation and understanding.

Most likely they are thailand vessels. The captains are thai, the crew are mostly thai, with few cambodian, but they using PNG flag as a camouflage, so they can run to PNG if crackdown happen. Fortunately they can be captured before they run.

New video in english - revealed that foreign fishing vessels only need appropriate permit to escape all this drama. So, go seek appropriate permit before conducting fishing activity in our waters or brace yourselves to face this dire consequence.

Indonesia gov under Joko Widodo taking hard stance toward illegal fishing activities (IUU) since it potentialy cost us $B30 annually.

Nothing to be proud of. If they were illegal, you could arrest them and let them stand trial. Blowing up a fishing boat is something that even Banana Republic's army is capable of.

Indeed nothing to be proud of, and nothing to be shame about. It is called enforcing law and order. I just inform what happened. Off course before we blow up ilegal vessel, legal procedure had already taken. And the verdict is decided by judge in fair trial.

Honestly, this is the first time I'm hearing of such incident. Countries usually enforce law by stopping illegal vessels and arresting the crew, not blowing it up right away. Anyway, your country, your rules.

 

[pr1v4t33r]

We are not blowing up vessels right away, no... There is legal procedure that must be taken before the final verdict decided. It can takes a few weeks to complete all the procedure, and if proven guilty, then we blow up the vessel and deport the crew.

This is more effective and give some deterrent effect to other illegal poacher to conduct their activities within our water. Including piracy, illegal fishing, illegal drug shipment, and human trafficking activities.

could you please read the news in the previous pages? We aren't some barbaric people who blow up boats with crews still on board, our navy members boarded the boat, arrested the crews and confiscated the boat first, after proven guilty we blow up the ship and send the crews back to their home countries. And don't worry, we have been so kind in these last 10 years it costed us USD 30 bill annually, time for some payback.
