The ATF was in Arabic. Neither the observer nor the crew of the LSTLV could interpret the ATF to establish the validity (expiry date and area of operation). The device pointed out as the VMS consisted of a power supply in the wheelhouse and an antenna mounted high above monkey island. The antennae closely resembled the TT3022D or TT3026S. The power supply was switched at the time of the inspection. A fishing logbook was completed but not in a formal format. A fishing logbook was completed but not in a formal format. The LSTLV Yi Chun showed the observer a power supply regulator as a VMS. It is not clear if this was due to a misunderstanding or because there was no VMS on board. The observer did not see any of the common VMS systems during the inspection. The LSTLV Chin Yi Chun showed the observer a unit he did not recognise as the on board VMS. This was later identified to be a power surge regulator. 6

The observer was shown a VMS she was not familiar with: Sun Warm 8 produced an expired fishing license (expired 2005). When questioned, the captain indicated their new fishing license was waiting for them on Mauritius and they were going to pick it up before their next transhipment. No internal VMS could be located. When questioned, the captain repeatedly indicated the external satellite as seen in the picture. The vessel did not have a Fishing Authorization. They had a letter which stated that their Fishing Authorization was current. Ping Shin 201 produced a poor quality photocopy of the licence, although it appeared to be of the valid document with dates and identification correct Ping Shin 201 did not offer any sort of logbook that looked official in nature but simply used a ruled A4 pad Sinaw 16 also produced a photocopy of a licence but this was in Arabic and the observer was unable to verify its validity 11

LSTLV - FU HSIANG FA No. 21 (Deployment 170) Email received 16/05/2012 from VALERIE LANZA Possible infraction: Participating Fleet Belize

1) This LSTLV was crudely marked and did not appear in the list of LSTLVs on the observers database,

From: Valerie [mailto:valerie@immarbe.com] Sent: 16 May 2012 19:00 To: 'Florian Giroux'; 'Delice Pinkard'; wilpott@gmail.com; bfdliaisonofficer@immarbe.com Cc: transhipment@iotc.org Subject: RE: Deployment 164 - Possible infraction detected under the ROP

Dear Florian Giroux, Your email below has been duly noted. However, we wish to advise that the fishing vessel FU HSIANG FA NO.18 is a not a Belize registered vessel. This is apparent from the call sign attached to this vessel. Belize flagged vessels call signs always begin with V3 not OTS as indicated on the attached picture. Again we reiterate, this vessel is not a Belize flagged vessel. All vessels authorized to operate in the IOTC area has been communicated to IOTC in accordance with the relevant Resolution. Your kind acknowledgment of receipt of this message would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Valerie Lanza Fishing Vessels Manager

LSTLV - JetMark 101 (Deployment 170) Email received 19/06/2012 from BENJAMIN F. S. TABIOS JR Possible infraction:

Participating Fleet Philippines

1) License seen during inspection was out of date. New license faxed to the vessel during transhipment, 2) Vessel has an on/off switch attached to its VMS unit.

Dear Mr. Giroux, This has reference to your e-mail dated May 28, 2012. Based on the Observer Report for Trip Number: 170/12 fishing vessel/carrier Lady Tuna [IOTC Ref. No. 8448] by Observer (Observer IOTC Ref. No). Lindsay Jones (024) Cruise Dates from 01/03/2012 to 05/05/2012, the following observation was made on a Philippine flagged fishing vessel, namely: The Jetmark 101 (IOTC 110) had to have its new license faxed to the vessel during transhipment when its previous license was seen during inspection to be out of date. It also appeared to have an on/off switch attached to its VMS unit (Figure 6) . Please be informed that the International Fishing Permit [IFP] of Jetmark 101 was faxed to the said fishing vessel as it had not yet been in port at the time the IFP was renewed till the time it was boarded by the Observer for transhipment. Faxing the document was the most convenient and cost effective manner by which the said IFP could be transmitted to the said Philippine flagged vessel. Requiring the same to come to a port for purposes of accepting/receiving a hard copy of the IFP is economically prohibitive. Attached is a copy of the said IFP. Secondly, the alleged on/off switch is actually an electrical breaker which is equivalent to a fuse box, a safety device required to be installed as a safety measure against over voltage. This device is easily viewable and is not hidden. Also, all electrical units on board vessels have this safety device as this is a safety at sea requirement. In addition, this fishing vessel had been boarded and inspected on previous occasions by other observer who had seen this set up yet did not mention it in their reports as this was most likely known or understood by them. Lastly, all VMS units have on/off switches of one form or another as these need to be turned off when at port. I trust that this explains the situation. Should there be any need of any additional informatio, please feel free to inquire. Best regards. I remain, In the Service of the Filipino People 17

Participating Fleet Oman

11th April 2012: Naham 4, IOTC no 8921, call sign shows as A4DK5 but should be A4DK6. A4DK5 belongs to Naham 3.

Regarding the call sign of the Naham 4 and the confusion with the Naham 3, we already investigated this matter with the owner. The company accepted and agreed that there was a mistake occurred from the people who were mixed the printing on the vessel. According to owner company that they have altered this mistake and promised not to repeat such kind of errors I hope this can be taken as our clarification on this matter and I appreciated if you take the necessary action to close this issue. Best regard. AHMED AL-MAZROUAI LSTLV - Full Rich (Deployment 173) Email received 27/08/2012 from An Won Sik Possible infraction: Flag State DPRK
