DOF never issues sea licences to foreigners
: The Department of Fisheries has never issued or leased any deep-sea fishing licence to foreigners, said its director-general, Datuk Munir Mohd Nawi.
Since 2017 to date, 341 foreign vessel arrests were carried out involving 285 Vietnamese vessel cases; 44 cases of Indonesian vessels; six Thai vessels and six vessels from other countries such as China, Taiwan, Singapore and the Philippines, with a total seizure of RM682 million, he said. According to Munir, since September 2017, the DOF had no longer issued a deep sea permit for overseas acquisition vessels but instead encouraged the construction of new vessels in the country through the modernization of vessels.
“Fishermen are encouraged to work on trawlers in zone C or change resources that are more resource-intensive if they want to stay in the same zone,“ he said.
