- Labor & Human Rights
- The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has blocked the Fu Yuan Yu 7874 because of the vessel operator's involvement in the 2017 transshipment of thousands of shark carcasses and because of crew reports of physical violence and forced labor on Pingtan Marine Enterprise vessels. Pingtan Marine Enterprise, a Chinese seafood conglomerate, and it's affiliate companies, Pingtan County Ocean Fishing Group Co Ltd and Fuzhou Honglong Ocean Fishing Co Ltd, were sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Office in December 2022. The U.S. Treasury Office identified 125 vessels associated with these companies and designated them as blocked property.
- In 2020, crew members of the Fu Yuan Yu 7874 reported that they were provided with instant noodles and porridge, and drank distilled saltwater. When a Filipino crew member began showing symptoms of beriberi, including weakness and difficulty breathing, the captain did not allow him to disembark from the vessel and he died. On June 6, 2020, another crew member named Stanley Jungco died from an accident on the ship. The symptoms of beriberi reported by crew included weakness and difficulty breathing.
