Attacks on trawlers have reduced – FG, Fishing trawlers vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Speaking to Vanguard Maritime Report, President of the association, Mr. Amire Akinbola, said although he could not make the figures available to our correspondent, the report of such attacks was very minimal last year.
He explained that the relative peace being experienced now in the fishery sub-sector has also increased the rate at which aquatic products from Nigeria are exported. He stated: “Yes, this is correct; you see a lot of people mistake pirate attacks for sea robbery, they are not exactly the same.“Piracy happens when there is violence on board a vessel with a view to cart away from that vessel, and it happens only outside the territorial waters of the country. If it is within the territorial waters that is sea robbery. What we have mostly on fishing vessels is sea robbery.
