This vessel is a former longliner, sources indicate that it may have been reconfigured for use as a fish carrier, although at the time of latest detention the vessel was carrying gillnets on board. It was IUU listed as a result of attempting to offload illegally caught toothfish in China. The vessel was deregistered by Togo in April 2017 but was reported to continue claiming a Togolese flag after that date. In early 2018 the vessel was detained in Maputo, Mozambique and then absconded. It was apprehended by Indonesia in early April 2018 and remains under detention.
