Jakarta -Hasil koordinasi antara Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) dan TNI AL berhasil menangkap kapal besar pencuri ikan di Laut Arafura bernama MV. Hai Fa berbobot 4.306 Gross Ton (GT).

Kapal berbendera Panama itu disebut-sebut sebagai kapal illegal fishing terbesar sepanjang sejarah yang pernah ditangkap pemerintah Indonesia. Biasanya rata-rata kapasitas kapal illegal fishing yang berhasil ditangkap hanya berkapasitas 200-500 GT.

"MV Hai Fa adalah kapal tangkapan terbesar dengan kapasitas paling besar yang pernah ditangkap dalam sejarah," kata Dirjen Pengawasan Sumber Daya Kelautan dan Perikanan (PSDKP) KKP Asep Burhanudin saat berdiskusi dengan media di Gedung Mina Bahari III, Jalan Medan Merdeka Timur, Jakarta, Senin (12/01/2015).

Asep menjelaskan kapal MV Hai Fa secara keseluruhan berbobot mati 4.306 GT. Kapal ini ditangkap saat merapat di Pelabuhan Wanam, Kabupaten Merauke, Sabtu (27/12/2014) lalu.

Kapal besar ini menurut Asep diduga telah berlayar tanpa Surat Layak Operasi (SLO) dan diawaki oleh 23 anak buah kapal, semuanya berkewarganegaraan Tiongkok.

Muatan kapal berupa ikan campuran dan udang diketahui sebanyak 900.702 kg terdiri dari ikan beku 800.658 kg dan udang beku 100.044 kg yang dimiliki PT Avona Mina Lestari dan rencananya akan diekspor ke Tiongkok.

Asep menambahkan sebelumnya MV. Hai Fa telah memiliki dokumen Hasil Pemeriksaan Kapal (HPK) Kedatangan dari Pengawas Perikanan di Satker PSDKP Avona, tanggal 18 Desember 2014 dan HPK Keberangkatan pada tanggal 19 Desember 2014, namun Pengawas Perikanan menyatakan bahwa kapal tersebut dinyatakan tidak layak operasi karena keseluruhan ABK berkewarganegaraan asing, sehingga tidak diterbitkan SLO.

Setelah dilakukan pemeriksaan lebih lanjut, selain tidak memiliki SLO kapal tersebut juga tidak mengaktifkan transmitter Sistem Pemantauan Kapal Perikanan (Vessel Monitoring System/VMS) selama pelayaran dari Avona ke Wanam, Papua.

Saat ini kapal MV. Hai Fa berada di Lantamal IX Ambon setelah ditarik dengan menggunakan KRI. John Li-358, yang tiba di Ambon tanggal 1 Januari 2015.

Dari hasil pemeriksaan menunjukkan bahwa MV. Hai Fa diduga kuat telah melakukan pelanggaran sebagaimana dimaksud Pasal 42 ayat (3), Pasal 43, Pasal 7 ayat (2) huruf d, dan Pasal 7 ayat (2) huruf e, Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 45 Tahun 2009 tentang Perubahan Atas Undang Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 31 Tahun 2004 tentang Perikanan.

Pasal 42 ayat (3) menyatakan setiap kapal perikanan yang akan berlayar melakukan penangkapan ikan dan/atau pengangkutan ikan dari pelabuhan perikanan wajib memiliki Surat Persetujuan Berlayar yang dikeluarkan oleh syahbandar di pelabuhan perikanan.

Pasal 43 menyatakan setiap kapal perikanan yang melakukan kegiatan perikanan wajib memiliki surat laik operasi kapal perikanan dari pengawas perikanan tanpa dikenai biaya. Selanjutnya Pasal 7 ayat (2) huruf d, menyebutkan setiap orang yang melakukan usaha dan/atau kegiatan pengelolaan perikanan wajib mematuhi ketentuan sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) mengenai persyaratan atau standar prosedur operasional penangkapan ikan.

Sedangkan Pasal 7 ayat (2) huruf e, menyebutkan setiap orang yang melakukan usaha dan/atau kegiatan pengelolaan perikanan wajib mematuhi ketentuan sebagaimana dimaksud pada ayat (1) mengenai sistem pemantauan kapal perikanan.

Untuk selanjutnya terhadap tersangka dan barang bukti berupa kapal dan ikan yang diangkut akan dilakukan proses hukum sesuai ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku.

"Sekarang lagi diproses dan diverifikasi. Penenggelaman atau tidak itu ada di kewenangan TNI AL. Kapalnya besar sakali," jelas Asep.

Indonesia Steps Up Fight Against Illegal Fishing With 4 New Ships

Jakarta. Indonesia will have four new surveillance vessels at its disposal this year to fight illegal fishing in the country’s waters, an official with the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministry said on Monday.

“This year, the ministry will strengthen its surveillance force by adding four 60-meter vessels made by the Indonesian Fisheries Inspection Vessel System [SKIPI],” Asep Burhanuddin, the director of the ministry’s Maritime and Fisheries Resources Monitoring Task Force (PSDKP), said on Monday in Jakarta, as quoted by state-run news agency Antara.com.

Asep said that the plan was part of the government’s push to eradicate illegal fishing and other activities threatening the country’s maritime resources.

According to Asep, the four new surveillance vessels will operate in various parts of the archipelago.

“Two will operate in the western region, while the other two will watch over the eastern area — likely in the Arafura Sea, North Sulawesi waters [both in the east], Natuna Islands and Malacca Strait [in the west of the archipelago],” he said.

According to Asep, the four vessels cost about Rp 238 billion ($18.8 million).

Previously, the Indonesian Air Force said it would buy Russian-designed multipurpose amphibious aircraft to help prevent illegal fishing.

“This Beriev Be-200 Altair is very reliable to monitor aquatic areas. The amphibious aircraft can land on the sea so it can help us catch illegal fishermen,” Marshall Ida Bagus Putu Dunia, the chief of the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU), told reporters in December.

Indonesia has recently also scuttled a number of foreign fishing vessels caught in its waters.

Illegal Fishing Vessel Attempts to Run Away – Kompas

15 January 2015 - 10:22 am

Jakarta, Kompas – Maritime and Fishery (KP) Minister, Susi Pudjiastuti, said there are some methods used by foreign illegal fishing players in Indonesian waters. The detained vessels even attempt to run away or to avoid punishment.

She delivered the statement to press in Jakarta on Wednesday (1/14). “Illegal fishing vessels use the flag of the country they have crossed. They steal and rob marine resources. Currently, Indonesia still becomes illegal fishing location since we have more fish than the surrounding countries,” Susi said.

Legal process to 4,306-GT Panama-flagged MV Hai Fa has reached witnesses’ testimony interrogation. The vessel carrying fishes was detained when it carried 900,702 tons of fish and shrimp. 66 tons of which are the protected fish kinds such as hammerhead shark and cowboy shark.

The fishing vessel is one of the biggest fishing vessels Indonesian government has detained. In 2014, the vessel allegedly conducted seven times of fish shipping from Indonesian waters with the value of IDR 70 billion.

MV Hai Fa arrived and was berthed in Wanam General Port, Merauke Regency, Papua on December 26th 2014 (not Saturday, December 27th). The vessel did not have operational permit (SLO) for fishing vessel and did not activate vessel monitoring system transmitter during its voyage. The vessel was detained by patrol officers and driven to Ambon Lantamal IX on January, 1st 2015.

KP Ministry’s Maritime and Fishery Resources Surveillance (PSDKP) Director General, Asep Burhanuddin, added MV Hai Fa was recorded to change ownership data several times.

In 2004, MV Hai Fa was recorded to be owned by China and in 2006, Panama owned it. In 2010, MV Hai Fa used Panama flag but with ownership administration document from Indonesia. MV Hai Fa is owned by the agent of PT Anthartica Segara Lines.

Besides MV Hai Fa, officers also detained a 3,170-GT fishing vessel named Dafeng Mariner. However, when the vessel was inspected, there was no fishes on board since it has been landed to the cold storages of processing industry.

According to Susi, the detained foreign illegal fishing vessels allegedly attempt to avoid punishment even to run away. “They admitted they bought the fishes, not illegally fished them,” she said. Therefore, her office has instructed Illegal Fishing Task Force to Merauke to ensure Dafeng Mariner does not leave Wanam.

Some moves may be conducted by Dafeng Mariner’s owner to release the vessel from Indonesia. They reasoned the vessel will bring 700 Chinese vessel crews out of Indonesia.

According to Susi, the government asserted it will deport the Chinese crews using state budget. “They try all moves to trick the government. However, we will implement all regulations to ensure they cannot release their vessel from Indonesia,” she said.

Indonesian Vessel Crews

Susi admitted averagely, the fishing vessels having over 100-GT capacity are foreign export vessels. Some of the vessel owners make partner or have shipping vessels with 2,000 to 4,000-GT capacity. Every shipping vessel averagely carries 10,000 tons of fish every year.

Foreign illegal fishing vessel’s method is to use Indonesian flag and to employ several Indonesian vessel crews as skipper or radio operator to ease communication.

KP Ministry’s Fishery Resource Surveillance Director, Sere Alina Tambunan, said MV Hai Fa and Dafeng Mariner are recorded to make partner with a fishery firm named PT Dwikarya Reksa Abadi to ship marine products.

KP Ministry’s Captured Fishery Director General, Gellwynn Jusuf, said PT Dwikarya Reksa Abadi has 67 vessels. The permits of 20 vessels have been revoked since they use trawl net harming environment. (Kompas, January 15th 2015)
