Fishing*

Ming Fa is linked to fishing concerns such as operating in Russian waters.

Between January 2020 and April 2026, the Ming Fa had at least 257 likely transshipment meetings. Its most frequent partners include Zhou Yu 903, Zhou Yu 810, Zhou Yu 680, Zhou Yu 687, and Zhou Yu 698.

Transshipment occurs when fishing vessels offload their catch to a refrigerated carrier that transports it to port, rather than the vessel going itself. Reefers can haul catch from multiple fishing vessels at once, which makes supply chain tracing difficult.

Ming Fa is related to at least five companies upstream, including five ships.
