Fu Yuan Yu 7886

Notes

1. In July 2020, the body of a Filipino deckhand on the Fu Yuan Yu 7886 named Felix Mark Guial, who died after suffering from a stomach ache, arrived in port in Manila. The previous month, a Chinese deckhand suffering from beriberi symptoms, including swelling and difficulty breathing, had been airlifted from the vessel south of Hainan, China. Between 2019-2020, a fisherman on board the Fu Yuan Yu 7886 submitted a complaint to the Indonesian Fishermen's Union (SBMI) about forced labor concerns involving abuse of vulnerability, deception, restriction of movement, physical and sexual violence, intimidation and threats, retention of identity documents, wage withholding, abusive working and living conditions, and excessive overtime.
2. The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has blocked the Fu Yuan Yu 7886 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.
