Trawler seized for fishing with non-reguatory nets
The "Grietje Geertruida" was intercepted on March 14, 2019, off Dunkirk using non-regulatory nets with too small mesh. The fisherman also practiced electric fishing which is not an offense, but this derogatory practice remains strongly contested. 1.7 tonnes of fish were seized, and on March 266 the owner was sentenced to a fine of € 3,000 including € 2,000 suspended.
Trawler arrested for non compliant fishing gear
On March 13, 2018, the Maritime Affairs agents arrested the Dutch fishing vessel "Grietje Geertruida - ARM 14", 138 gt (IMO: 9056181). The fisherman were accused of having worked with nonconforming nets. The was is docked at Mole 3 in Dunkirk and its cargo was to be seized by the State. The trawler was intercepted by the patrol boat "Thémis" off Dunkirk in the afternoon. After checking, it turned out that the meshs of the nets were narrower than what the legislation allows. Quickly, the fishing vessel was escorted to the port of Dunkirk, where it arrived at 10 p.m. In the morning of March 13 the agents of the Maritime Affairs carried out the inventory of the fish which will be seized and resold at the auction for the benefit of the State. The boat was detained, and the owner will have to pay a deposit to recover it. Also, it could be pursued by the Justice for the use of non-compliant marine fishing gear.
Trawler assisted by lifeboat
In the evening of Nov 30, 2017, the "Grietje Gertruida - ARM 14" suffered hydraulic problems while fishing off Breskens. It was impossible to recover the fishing gear, and other systems also failed. The ship was still maneverable and therefore headed for the port of Breskens. But the skipper called the lifeboat "Zeemanshoop" because he was unable to dock his ship with these problems. When the vessel was almost in Breskens, the skipper called the lifeboat crew through the internal PreCom system at 7.45 p.m. The Zeemanshoop" was already waiting for fishing vessel in the harbor estuary. It pushed it to the quayside, and a little later, the ship was safely moored.
