- Labor & Human Rights
- After fishing for squid off the coast of Argentina, the Lu Huang Yuan Yu 118 returned to port in Indonesia in July 2020. After their return, authorities boarded the vessels and found the body of a deceased worker inside the freezer of the Lu Huang Yu 118. Indonesian authorities arrested six executives from local recruitment agencies for allegedly placing 22 Indonesian migrant fishermen on the two Chinese fishing vessels. According to officials, the recruitment of the workers by the local agencies did not comply with labor laws. None of the four companies has a license to recruit Indonesian citizens for work placement on board a fishing boat vessel, whether domestically or abroad, according to data from the country’s labor ministry and the migrant worker protection agency. The deckhand exhibited symptoms of beriberi.
