IOTC IUU VESSELS LIST 2018

New data concerning the vessel Kuang Hsing 196 (Serial nº. 20150023) have been added to the list according to the information on the IOTC webpage (here). The IOTC Secretariat has informed the ICCAT Secretariat on 30 May 2018 and on 6 June 2018 (corrigendum) of its IUU list containing five new vessels compared to its 2017 list. In June 2018, the IOTC list has been circulated to ICCAT CPCs in order to obtain their agreement to include the vessels in the ICCAT IUU list. The supporting documentation for vessels added to the IUU list in 2018 can be downloaded from the IOTC website (here).

INFORMATION FOR THE ICCAT IUU VESSELS LIST IN 2018 At its 12th meeting in April 2018, the IMM requested the ICCAT Secretariat to update as much as possible the information of the ICCAT IUU list. The Secretariat received input from Chinese Taipei who informed that the vessel YU FONG 168 was not flagged to Chinese Taipei. This change was presented in the Draft ICCAT IUU list (Circular nº 568/18 of 14 August 2018). In July 2018, Bolivia has informed the ICCAT Secretariat that the vessel KIM SENG DENG 3 is not registered under Bolivian flag (as explained in Appendix 1). This change was presented in the Draft ICCAT IUU list (Circular nº 568/18 of 14 August 2018). In September 2018, Bolivia has informed the Secretariat that the vessels ABUNDANT 1, ABUNDANT 12, ABUNDANT 3, ABUNDANT 6, ABUNDANT 9, SHENG JI QUN 3, SHUN LAI, YUTUNA 3 and YUTUNA NO.1 that are listed under “unknown flag” have call sign numbers starting by CPA-XXX which correspond, erroneously, to the Bolivian flag (refer to Appendix 2). In addition, in October 2018, Bolivia reiterated its request to delist the vessels mentioned in Appendix 1 and 2 (as informed in Appendix 3). Since the vessels were listed by IOTC, in October 2018 Bolivia has also sent a request to IOTC to have the vessels quoted above delisted (refer to Appendix 4).

Mr. Camille Jean Pierre Manel EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT) Madrid, Spain Dear Mr. Executive Secretary, In time, to express my cordial greetings and wish you every success in your work, I have the honour to address your Authority regarding ICCAT Circular #5681/18, #6509/17, IOTC Circular #5731/2018 and IOTC Recommendation 11-18 (IUU list), regarding the ICCAT draft list of IUU vessels, where alleged vessels flying Bolivian flag contravened IOTC Resolution 11-03. In this regard, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, through the Maritime Authorities, reviewed the data base of the Bolivian International Vessel Register, and it was noted that the vessels that are included in the draft list of IUU vessels, are not and were not registered under Bolivian flag or with a fishing license of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. These are detailed below:-

Regarding the radio call sign used by illegal fishing vessels, please note that the Bolivian code includes three letter digits (CPA) and four numbers, therefore, the radio call signs of those vessels do not correspond to Bolivia. Moreover, we would like to inform the Commission that on 11 and 13 September 2017 and 3 July 2018, documents related to this issue were transmitted to ICCAT and are attached herein. Likewise, we would like to inform that Bolivia, through the Maritime Authorities together with a commission of the Kingdom of Thailand, conducted an investigation in 2017 of the aforementioned vessels as they were flying a Bolivian flag, carried certificates of the Bolivian vessel register and were found conducting illegal fishing in the economic exclusive zone of the Kingdom of Thailand. The results of the investigation showed that the vessels were carrying documents that had not been issued by the Bolivian Maritime Authorities and had been forged by the vessel owners. Thus, the Kingdom of Thailand determined to confiscate the vessels. On the other hand, in the name of the Plurinational State of Bolivia and aimed at maintaining its impeccable image, I would like to request the governing board of ICCAT and IOTC to delist Bolivia from the list of vessels related to illegal fishing, as they are not registered under the Plurinational State of Bolivia. Thus, reiterating the commitment of this Maritime Administration in fighting against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) and complying with the regulations of the Commission. For this purpose, I take this opportunity to reiterate, Mr. Executive Secretary, the assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.
