Results
Information from the publicly available online databases maintained by Lloyd’s Register – Fairplay (Sea-web), Lloyd’s MIU and shipspotting.com shows 32 visits by 15 IUU-listed vessels to Singapore Harbour. Ten vessels on the CCAMLR or CCAMLR/SEAFO IUU vessel lists made 23 port visits, four vessels on the IOTC IUU-vessel list made five visits, and two vessels on the NEAFC/NAFO IUU-vessel lists made four visits. Recorded visits were mainly by fishing vessels (26 visits by 12 vessels) and occurred during March 2005 to February 2009. All 32 port visits are considered as non-violations due to the fact that Singapore is not a CP to any of the main high seas or tuna RFMOs.
