IUU Vessel List

Vessel Details - SHUN CHANG NO. 3 - Currently Listed

Overview

Comments

On the ICCAT IUU vessel list there is a No 2 Choyu and a No. 3 Choyu. There is no other information on the two vessels. The vessels were listed in 2006 after having been seen fishing in the Mediterranean in the closed season . An ICCAT list of vessels from 1999 establishes that that the Cho Yu No. 3 is owned by Armadora Pesquera Choyu S de RL This list also identifies the Pesquera No. 68 as a vessel suspected of IUU fishing for tuna and the owner to be Choyu Fishery. Based on the above there is a strong reason to assume that the No. 3 Choyu is the Choyu No. 3 IMO 8430550
