Interesting,monitors where vessel is and where its been,but does it monitor deck 24/7 where the dumping occurs or the new vessels mincers?

Some vessel have had positioning systems for a few years now. I know because I reported a vessel for trawling in an no trawling zone and MPI very quickly worked out what vessel it was. They were then happy to assure me that they had talked to the skipper and he said that the vessel wasn't actually trawling in this no trawl zone. Just practicing with some new gear or something like that apparently!!!!!

Damn funny place for a trawler to be however as there was no logical reason for them to be there. Just glad that MPI were so obviously on top of things. Practising
