[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] A Chinese fishing vessel that was reporting false location information and fishing within our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) was seized by the Coast Guard.


According to Mokpo Coast Guard Station (Chief Im Jae-su) on the 22nd, at around 5:20 PM on the 21st, a Chinese purse seiner A (45 tons, 9 crew members) was seized on the sea 51.8 km northwest of Gageodo, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do for violating restricted conditions.


It was confirmed that the seized vessel A falsely reported entering our EEZ on the afternoon of the 19th at a point 11 km away from the actual entry location.



Meanwhile, despite the difficult COVID-19 situation throughout this year, the Mokpo Coast Guard has been conducting strong crackdowns, seizing 21 foreign fishing vessels engaged in illegal fishing, and is doing its best day and night to protect fishery resources in the West Sea and safeguard maritime sovereignty.
