Greenpeace earlier caught the vesselbreaching international law by trans-shipping large quantities of tuna ontoa reefer, or cold-storage ship, in international waters. Purse seining onthe high seas is illegal since an agreement was signed last year. Inaddition to breaking international law, the fishing of juvenile yellowfintuna is unsustainable.
