Coast Guard Intercepts Suspected Pirate Vessel


Tuesday, August 07 2012
A year after the Coast Guard seized the stateless fishing vessel Bangun Perkasa and brought it back to Unalaska, the agency is in pursuit of another suspected pirate vessel.
Details are sparse, but during a press conference yesterday, Coast Guard Commandant Robert Papp said the cutter Rush had intercepted a vessel suspected of high seas drift netting. A United Nations moratorium on high seas drift netting is enforced by member states, including the U.S. According to the Associated Press, the Coast Guard found 40 tons of illegal fish on board the vessel.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Sara Francis couldn’t provide additional information about the vessel or what will happen to it, citing an ongoing investigation.
