Crimes & Concerns

  1. Fishing

The Hua Li 8 is directly associated with fishing concerns such as fishing in waters without authorization, unauthorized transshipment, unreported fishing, and AIS darkness.

View notes
Fishing
The Hua Li 8 is suspected of illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing in Argentinian waters between 2010 and 2022. It is on the Argentinian government's list of vessels engaging in illegal fishing after Argentinian authorities captured the vessel on February 29, 2016.
Chinese fishery authorities deducted annual fuel subsidies from the Hua Li 8 for violating the
SPRFMO
regulations in 2017 regarding illegal at-sea transshipments to unregistered transport ships, and the captain was penalized.
AIS Darkness
Since March 2018, the Hua Li 8 has disabled its
AIS
for at least 2,518 hours (104 days). These instances of
AIS
darkness occurred across the Argentine Sea. This matters because so-called “AIS darkness” is a likely indicator of criminal activity at sea, including illegal fishing, smuggling, and sanctions evasion.
