Contact us about this vessel

Overview

This vessel held Panama, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines then Russia flag under the name CAROLINE GLACIAL during the first 6 years of operations. Russia flag transferred to an unknown flag alongside renaming to CAROLINE H in March 2003. This vessel renamed to AMERICA NO. 1, reflagged to the United States, and operated in the Ross Sea from October 2003 to January 2004 under vessel operator Seaport Management Services LLC. Seaport Management Services LLC is a joint venture by Pac-Fish Inc and New World Investments. Sources have linked Pac-Fish Inc to IUU activities and the Vidal Armadores group, a group with a history of non-compliant operations. 33 tonnes of toothfish imported by Pac-Fish Inc and caught by IUU vessel ARVISA I was seized by US authorities in 2003. A French-South African anti-poaching operation arrested this vessel for illegally fishing Patagonian toothfish within the EEZ of Kerguelen in June 2004. Hence, this vessel was included in the CCAMLR IUU list on 5 November 2004. Vessel was flagged to Honduras, named APACHE and under ownership of Staplefield Investment SA. Vessel reflagged to France, renamed to LE MALIN and owner/operator responsibilities transferred to Marine Nationale – Direction des Travaux Maritimes in December 2005. This vessel was delisted from the CCAMLR IUU list on 2 November 2007.
