Heavy Fines Imposed for Illegal Fish Dumping in Svalbard's Waters
On July 25, 2012, the fishing vessel 'Melkart II' faced a significant crackdown by the Norwegian Coast Guard. The ship was apprehended and escorted to Tromsø by the patrol vessel 'Nordkapp' after authorities suspected it of unlawfully dumping fish in the fisheries protection zone surrounding Svalbard. Additionally, the vessel failed to report its location and catch information to the fisheries directorate, prompting a thorough investigation by the Tromsø police. The repercussions for this breach of regulations were severe, with the Russian captain receiving a fine of 20,000 Norwegian Crowns and the affiliated company, JSC Murman Seafood, being penalized with a hefty 430,000 Crowns.
