Notes
- The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has blocked the Fu Yuan Yu 7627 because of the vessel operator's involvement in the 2017 transshipment of thousands of shark carcasses and because of crew reports of physical violence and forced labor on Pingtan Marine Enterprise vessels. Pingtan Marine Enterprise, a Chinese seafood conglomerate, and it's affiliate companies, Pingtan County Ocean Fishing Group Co Ltd and Fuzhou Honglong Ocean Fishing Co Ltd, were sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Office in December 2022. The U.S. Treasury Office identified 125 vessels associated with these companies and designated them as blocked property.
