The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has confirmed that it will immediately donate five fishing vessels that have permanent legal force for fishermen to use.

"The signing of the State-Owned Goods Handover Report on State Rampasan Goods from the Indonesian Attorney General's Office to the KKP has been carried out in Jakarta, on Thursday (10/7)," said KKP Director General of Marine and Fishery Resources Supervision (PSDKP) Pung Nugroho Saksono (Ipunk) as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, July 12.

Five ships were confiscated by the state, namely KM. SLFA 5323 (68 GT) are in Dumai Riau, KM Blessing (69 GT) in Banda Aceh, and KM. KHF 1355 (60 GT) in Belawan, KM. SLFA 3763 (45 GT) and KM. PFKA 7541 (33 GT) in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra.

The five ships handed over will be handed over to the joint fishing group (KUB) or fishery cooperatives.

Ipunk conveyed the KKP policy in the use of illegal fishing vessels, namely fishing. The ships are no longer destroyed or drowned, but are used for the economic interests of fishermen.

"The use of booty ships is of course carried out selectively by considering the real needs and operational readiness of recipients, so that they can really be used to improve the welfare of recipients," said Ipunk.

Furthermore, his party will carry out monitoring and evaluation of the use of ships on a regular basis. This is to ensure that the ships are used on target and on purpose and are not misused or traded.

Previously, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, said that the ship was given to fishermen to help increase productivity. The ships that were handed over were also confirmed to be suitable for use.
