These collisions occurred mostly at night or in fog conditions where visibility was restricted and additional lookouts were not engaged. Discussion The Chinese port Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is located in Ningbo and Zhoushan on the coast of the East China Sea, in Zhejiang province and is ranked the busiest cargo port in the world. Large fleets of fishing junks may be encountered on the coast of China. The junks may not be carrying lights. They are solidly built and serious damage could be incurred by colliding with them. Fishing vessels vary from traditional rowing or sailing craft as little as 3m long to modern trawlers 15m long and over. We recently met with China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) to review the collision cases and explore possible measures to help prevent similar casualties and loss of life. Attached is an Advisory prepared by Ningbo MSA that provides guidance for Master’s on navigating through the East China Sea and areas where there may be high concentrations of fishing vessels.

  • Fishing Vessels Fishing Vessel Types
    Fishery Basics – Fishing Vessels Fishing Vessel Types Fishing vessels are typically designed with a specific purpose. That purpose is to locate, catch, and preserve fish while out at sea. The planned operations of a vessel determine the overall size of the vessel, the arrangement of the deck, carrying capacity, as well as the machinery and types of equipment that will be supported by the vessel. Due to the inherent differences in fishing communities around the world, there is a wide range of types and styles of fishing vessels. Vessel sizes can range from the 2 m (6 ft) dug out canoes used in subsistence and artisanal fisheries, to factory ships that exceed 130 m (427 ft) in length. Commercial fishing vessels can also be characterized by a variety of criteria: types of fish (See Biology & Ecology) they catch, fishing gear and methods used (See Fishing Gear), capacity and processing capabilities, and the geographical origin of the vessel. In 2002, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated the world fishing fleet had approximately four million vessels, with an average vessel size ranging from 10-15 m (33-49 ft). Based on a quarterly catch statistics report, published by the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN), approximately 1,950 vessels landed their catches in California ports. Due to the technological innovations that began in the 1950s, many fishing vessels are now classified as multi-purpose vessels, because of the ability to switch out gear types depending on the targeted species. However, single use vessels still exist in the world fishing fleet today.

  • The IMO Number Explained
    A fact sheet from May 2017 Adam Baske The IMO Number Explained What is an IMO number? The International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced its Ship Identification Number Scheme in 1987 to help prevent maritime fraud and enhance the security of merchant vessels. It is recognized by regional fisheries organizations and most governments and is considered the best available global identification system for ships. IHS Maritime & Trade, a company based in the U.K., administers the scheme on behalf of the IMO. The unique seven-digit vessel number the company issues to each vessel, preceded by the letters IMO, stays with it until it is scrapped and never changes, regardless of the ship’s owner, country of registration or name. The records based on the IMO number provide an independent audit trail for each vessel. The scheme was applied to fishing vessels in 2013, and the eligibility criteria were amended in 2016 to cover smaller and non-steel hull vessels. Why do fishing vessels need an IMO number? Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing worldwide accounts for up to 26 million metric tons of fish annually, worth up to $23.5 billion. IMO numbers are an essential tool in the fight against illegal fishing because they help to improve monitoring, control, surveillance and enforcement of fishing operations. They: • Allow flag States to accurately manage vessels under their authority. • Give national authorities information to help them police their waters more effectively. • Bring clarity and consistency to Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) records, helping governments determine whether vessels are authorized to fish in their waters.

  • History of Maldivian Fishing
    History of Maldivian Fishing Traditionally fishery is the main occupation and major livelihood of the Maldivian. It is also the second largest industry in the Maldives. The main methods of fishing are pole and line for Skipjack tuna. The second most important fish caught is the yellow fin tuna. The main fish products exported are; frozen fish, canned fish, dried fish and salted dry fish. The traditional fishing vessel, a sailing ‘Dhoni’, is less than 15 feet long. Thatch sails were used in the early days of fishing, which have been replaced by sail-cloths and rowing. The Maldivian fishery is famous in the world for its dolphin friendliness. The modern fishing vessel revolutionized the Maldivian fishing industry, enabling the fisherman to sail further distances. It meant that the direction and speed of the wind were no longer determinants of the distances traveled by fishermen in search of fish. Establishment of cold storage facilities was another important landmark in the development of the fisheries industry. In the past, the Maldives exported tuna primarily in the dried and smoked form called ‘Hiki Kandumas’ or 'Maldive Fish' to Sri Lanka. Maldives also exported other forms of fish products to Japan and Thailand.
