The "Melilla 201" which was seized in Dunedin berth is to be dismantled in Asia. The ship was seized in May 2013 by the Ministry for Primary Industries, with three senior officers found guilty last year of illegal fish dumping. The stern trawler has remained at the Birch St Wharf, with the ministry spending some 100.000 dollars on berthing costs and to fumigate the vessel after it was found to be infested with rats and lice. The vessel was now destined for possibly India or Bangladesh, where it will be scrapped. The Napier company successfully tendered for the vessel. Since last week, workers had been busy on the vessel removing some items that could be resold, such as large fishing nets, net mending machinery and engineering supplies. The vessel would then set off under its own power to Southeast Asia, and be delivered to a ship recycler. The ship was crewed by 12 officers, all Korean nationals, and 42 Indonesian crew. Its captain, vice-captain and factory manager were each charged under the Fisheries Act (1996) with two charges of unlawfully returning or abandoning fish subject to the quota management system. The men were found guilty on all charges. The vessel's sister ship "Melilla 203" remained berthed in Dunedin. Report with photos: http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/329818/seized-vessel-set-scrapyard
