This vessel was detained by Spanish authorities alongside the NORTHERN WARRIOR (8808903) on 22 March 2016 for requesting access to Vigo port with false documentation and was suspected of illegal fishing offences. These vessels were stateless at the time of detention, and both owned by World Ocean Fishing SL. This vessel was included in the CCAMLR IUU list on 28 October 2016 for supporting IUU listed vessels in the CCAMLR Convention Area. These vessels are linked with companies investigated during ‘Operation Sparrow’, a Spanish led search for evidence of companies linked to IUU fishing, specifically the poaching of Patagonian toothfish in Antarctic waters.
