Standardization of Installation and Operation Methods for Position Tracking Devices on Distant-Water Fishing Vessels
[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 3rd that it has established the "Ordinance on the Installation and Operation Methods of Vessel Tracking Devices" for distant-water fishing vessels to strengthen the prevention of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and to respond promptly to maritime accidents.
The ordinance includes details on the registration method of fishing vessels equipped with tracking devices, methods for displaying navigation information, and means to verify normal operation. Except for unavoidable situations such as sinking, it also stipulates that tracking devices installed on all distant-water fishing vessels cannot be operated or manipulated arbitrarily.

Since 2013, in response to international demands to eradicate Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, the government has mandated the installation of tracking devices on distant-water fishing vessels. Each vessel periodically transmits its location through this device, allowing the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries' fishing operation monitoring center to verify it in real time.
