South Africa seized four Chinese fishing boats for illegal entry and AIS tampering, fining them $22,000.
South Africa intercepted four Chinese-flagged fishing vessels near Cape Town for entering territorial waters without authorization, despite denied requests for Off-Port Limits permits.
The vessels, owned by Shenzhen Shuiwan Pelagic Fisheries, entered waters within 12 nautical miles of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape while their applications were pending and repeatedly disabled their AIS systems, violating maritime laws.
Authorities charged the masters, imposed a R400,000 fine—paid by the owner—and released the vessels after they departed.
Minister Willie Aucamp reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to protecting its marine zones from illegal fishing.
