FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA
ARRESTED
FISHING VESSELS
Each
year, several vessels are arrested in FSM waters for
illegal fishing. The penalties are harsh and can
include forfeiture of the vessel and arrest of the
crew.
If
your fishing vessel has been arrested, time is of the
essence. It is important that you obtain legal counsel
aS soon as possible to ensure that evidence is
preserved, and your position is presented fairly to
the FSM government.
We can make sure you are provided with due
process, a fair hearing, and an aggressive defense
should the matter go to court.
