Correspondence
Email sent to two contact addresses at the CNFC.
The email outlined overarching findings of The Outlaw Ocean Project's investigation, including that CNFC has transhipped with dozens of red-flagged vessels. The email asked if the CNFC felt it had a duty to vet its partners and move away from bad actor ships that engage in these sorts of behaviors.
Email sent to the China National Fisheries Corporation. The email concerned the treatment of a crew member on board the squid fishing vessel, the Wei Yu 18, whose employment contract was signed with CNFC Co. Ltd., the China Fishery Group Co. Ltd. and the manning agency PT. Shafar Abadi Indonesia. The crew member died in September 2019 after falling ill on board and being refused medical treatment for over two weeks. The email asked for comment.
