In addition to the damage, there is also insult: the Antarctic shipowner, one of the two fishing boats seized for 108 days in Libya, received a 2 thousand euro fine from the Capitaneria of Mazara del Vallo (Trapani). Reason? Out of 12 days of biological shutdown, carried out in 2019, it communicated nine. It would be enough to communicate the last three, but the data, like other information, are contained in the electronic 'logbook', an on-board instrument stolen together with other equipment when the fishing boat was seized in Libya. The fine is € 2,010.65. The report notified by the Harbor Office reads: "Specifically, compared to 12 days of additional compulsory temporary arrest, only 9 days useful for the purpose of the annual calculation were carried out". "With this illicit conduct - it is written in the report - the fishing unit has in fact exercised its fishing activity in periods not permitted by the current legislation of the sector".
