Indonesia to sink 41 boats, including Malaysian-owned vessels, caught fishing illegally

JAKARTA: Indonesia's navy and its maritime affairs and fisheries ministry is scheduled to sink 41 vessels caught fishing illegally in its waters on Wednesday, following court decisions declaring them guilty of poaching.

"All of the 41 boats will be sunk on May 20 at 10am. The boats originated from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Malaysia and the Philippines," said the ministry's director general for maritime and fisheries resources surveillance Asep Burhanuddin.

The ministry, according to Asep, will sink 19 boats while the navy will handle the rest.

Indonesian Muslim always use killing innocent citizens, sinking fishing-boats to show their strength.
 
instead of blowing up the boats, the Indonesian government should sell the boats back to the illegal fisherman for 4x the price. Vietnamese should pay more.

This idea would be good in theory, and that was pretty much what we did in the past before the new president elected. But in practice, this open up corruption gap that heavily corrupting our law enforcer. The boats owner will try to bribe our sea patrol officers, prosecutors and judges to avoid being captured or try to reduce the fine and they would poach again illegaly in no time.

By destroying their boats, illegal poacher will suffer financial blow that won't be easily forgotten. In fact they risk to go bankrupt if they insist to keep fishing illegaly and captured. This lesson will also provide deterrent effect for other to not conducting illegal activity in our water.

Indonesia sinks 41 illegal fishing boats, including one from China

JAKARTA — Indonesia yesterday sank a large Chinese vessel as well as 40 other foreign boats that had been caught fishing illegally in the country’s waters, a move likely to spark a strong reaction from Beijing and other regional capitals.

The 300 gross tonne Chinese vessel was destroyed with a low-explosive device on its hull in West Kalimantan, said Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti.

“This is not a show of force. This is just merely (us) enforcing our laws,” Ms Susi was quoted as saying by The Jakarta Post.

The Gui Xei Yu 12661 is the first Chinese boat to be sunk since Indonesian President Joko Widodo declared war on illegal foreign fishing boats last December.

The Indonesian Navy detained Gui Xei Yu in 2009 after it was caught fishing near the South China Sea, a hotly disputed area involving China and South-east Asian nations such as Malaysia and Vietnam.

Besides the Chinese ship, the authorities also destroyed 40 other vessels in different places across the country. They included five boats from Vietnam, two boats from Thailand and 11 from the Philippines, The Post reported.

Shortly after assuming office last October, Mr Widodo launched a campaign to protect Indonesia’s maritime resources and domestic fishing industry, which loses billions of dollars in revenues to illegal fishing each year. He has also pledged to transform Indonesia into a maritime power and, in December last year, orchestrated a much-publicised sinking of three empty Vietnamese vessels.

Dozens of foreign vessels from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines have been sunk in recent months.

Ms Susi yesterday hailed the latest sinking of the 41 fishing boats, saying it was part of the government’s efforts to protect Indonesia’s maritime resources.

“The action was taken after legal proceedings for the foreign vessels were completed,” she said.
