Fishing vessel arrested
The "Kamchatka" has been arrested in Norway's exclusive economic Zone on Oct 24, 2015. Six crewmembers were being held by the captain and the second in command officer, both citizens of Russia, on board the "Kamchatka" against their will. The Russian FSB (Federal Security Service) border guard department for the western Arctic district sent a vessel and a special operations unit. As it was arrested on the high seas, the "Kamchatka" tried to escape, but it was arrested in the exclusive economic zone of Norway and ordered to enter the nearest port, which was Kirkenes. All crewmembers were picked up from the "Kamchatka" and were delivered to Murmansk on board a border guard vessel.
