10 2014 COM Background notes to 2014 Provisional IUU Vessels List Annex to Doc. No. PWG-405 / 2014 October 27, 2014 (5:00 PM) BACKGROUND NOTES TO 2014 ICCAT PROVISIONAL LIST Vessel Action Rationale/ Documentation IUU List No.: In IUU 2013 Reported by France WCPFC list at WCPFC Name: Neptune Observations Fishing on the high sea of the WCPFC Convention Area without being on the WCPFC Record of fishing vessels (CMM para 3a). IUU List No Name: Fu Lien Nº 1 IUU List No Name: Yu Fong 168 IUU List No Name: Xin Shu ji 16 In IUU 2013 WCPFC list In IUU 2013 WCPFC list Reported by USA at WCPFC Reported by Marshall Islands at WCPFC Without nationality and harvested species covered by the WCPFC Convention in the Convention Area (CMM , para 3h). For more information see extracts from 7 th Regular session of the WCPFC (see below). Fishing in the EEZ of the Republic of Marshall Islands without permission and in contravention of the Republic of the Marshall Islands laws and regulations (CMM , para 3 b). For more information see extracts from 6 th Regular session of the WCPFC (see below). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY WCPFC Seventh Regular Session of the WCPFC 198. The USA inspected the Fu Lien No 1 when it came into port to offload. It determined the Fu Lien No 1.was without nationality and had been fishing for WCPF covered species on the high seas of the Convention area. The vessel has since been reflagged by Georgia and continues to fish in the regions Australia supported inclusion of the Fu Lien No 1 on the IUU list, as under CMM vessels without nationality are presumed to have carried out IUU fishing. It asked how such a vessel could be removed once listed The Legal Adviser noted that under CMM removal of a vessel must be initiated by the flag State. Georgia became the flag State after the incident in question, but it is the flag State at the time of the contravention that is responsible. He suggested it would be appropriate to include in the record a procedure to remove the Fu Lien No 1, or create an opportunity for the owner to remove the vessel, noting this was the first time this had arisen in the Commission WCPFC7 agreed by consensus to place the Fu Lien No 1 on the WCPFC IUU vessel list. WCPFC7 additionally noted that the procedures for de-listing an IUU vessel under CMM Page 10 of 38

11 2014 COM Background notes to 2014 Provisional IUU Vessels List Annex to Doc. No. PWG-405 / 2014 October 27, 2014 (5:00 PM) require action by the flag State. However, in the case of the F/V Fu Lien No. 1, it was listed for being without nationality and harvesting species covered by the WCPF Convention while on the high seas of the Convention Area. Therefore, the process for de-listing the F/V Fu Lien No. 1 requires special arrangements. Accordingly, the Commission agreed: i. that the Secretariat will write to the vessel s current flag State in order to seek its assistance in resolving this matter. The Commission further agrees that in the event that the current flag State of Georgia determines that this matter is outside its jurisdiction, then the following actions by the owner of the F/V Fu Lien No. 1 will be deemed sufficient for the purpose of removing the vessel from the IUU list. Those actions are: a. payment of voluntary contribution to the Commission in an amount deemed satisfactory by the Commission; b. ensuring that the vessel is flagged to a responsible flag State; and c. a written commitment by the vessel owner and flag State that it will comply with the WCPF Convention and its conservation and management measures. Sixth Session WCPFC WCPFC6 considered the Provisional IUU Vessel List prepared by TCC Concerning the Yu Fong 168, a Chinese Taipei-flagged vessel, the nominating State, RMI summarized that the vessel had seen sighted fishing inside RMI s EEZ but fled, causing damage to an FSM patrol boat in pursuit. The vessel, owner, master and crew have not been located Chinese Taipei stated that it had revoked the license for this vessel and removed it from the WCPFC RFV. Chinese Taipei welcomes cooperation from other CCMs to prevent this vessel from continuing to fish illegally WCPFC6 agreed by consensus to list the Yu Fong 168 on the WCPFC IUU Vessel List. Background information on the WCPFC IUU list prepared by the WCPFC Secretariat at the request of ICCAT Secretariat: TCC8 Summary Report (2012) 43.
