The Enniberg: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

In a notable enforcement action, the owner of the trawler 'Enniberg' has been penalized with a hefty fine of 409,000 Norwegian crowns for the illegal dumping of protected fish species into the waters of Norway. This incident occurred when the trawler was apprehended by the Coast Guard transport vessel, Sortland, on February 20. In addition to the company’s significant fine, the captain of the 'Enniberg' faced a personal penalty of NOK 20,000 for breaching the Marine Resources Act. The crew unlawfully discarded aging fish when preparing for a new catch, violating regulations meant to protect vulnerable species. Following the submission of necessary documentation and relevant information to the police, the trawler was released from Hammerfest around 4 p.m. For further details, including a video report, visit the source: http://www.lofotposten.no/Her_dumper_den_f_r_yske_tr_leren_fisk___og_p_drar_seg_gigantbot_-5-29-54171.html

On February 19, 2015, the Norwegian Coastguard vessel 'Sortland' took action against the 'Enniberg', suspecting illegal fishing activities of protected species on the Hjelmsøy bank, located off the coast of Finnmark. Following the seizure, the 'Enniberg' was escorted to the port of Hammerfest, where it arrived at 5:45 p.m. The case has since been handed over to law enforcement officials for further legal action.
