Notorious Super Trawler Arrested In Liberia

On the 3rd of September, the notorious super trawler Kanbal III was arrested off the coast of Liberia after local authorities operating from The M/Y Age of Union apprehended the trawler for breaking serious ship safety regulations.

“Kanbal III had a long list of ship safety violations—liferaft issues, fire extinguisher problems, and expired emergency transponders–the maritime safety equivalent of Chef Gordon Ramsay walking into one of his ‘Kitchen Nightmares’. This is what Sea Shepherd and Age of Union is all about, saving and protecting all life at sea” – Captain Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global’s Director of Campaigns
