Transhipment and the FCWC Region: Case Studies
Description
This collection of case studies aims to highlight the diverse and complex role that transhipment plays. Findings, demonstrate the complexity of transhipment and its impacts, ranging from compliance aspects for fishery legislation, implementation of RFMO conservation and management measures, facilitation of fishery crimes and social economic impacts on local fishing communities and government returns. The complexities in respect to overlaps between national authorities including fisheries, port, police and customs authorities has also been apparent and the resultant potential gaps in oversight that this can create. The case studies illustrate different types of operations and, unless specific non-compliance is mentioned, are not intended to imply non-compliance. The cases provide indications as to which features and factors can be taken into consideration to determine the IUU risk associated with specific operations. Five main types of transhipment have been identified that take place within or impact on the FCWC region.
