Email sent to Oceanic Food, marked FAO Victor Lee, General Manager.
The email said that a supplier in the company's supply chain - Rongcheng Puchen - received squid from a Zhoushan Ningtai Ocean Fisheries vessel that engaged in unregulated fishing activity. Another 14 vessels owned by Zhoushan Ningtai are linked to a range of environmental and human rights issues including forced labor, AIS spoofing, shark finning, and unauthorized transhipment. Unauthorized transhipment can undermine supply chain traceability by obfuscating the movement of catch from vessel to processor. The email asked for comment.
