The
\nExecutive Director of the Fisheries Commission, Michael
\nArthur-Dadzie, has said the crew members of a Chinese fishing vessel, who were
\narrested over the disappearance of a Ghanaian fishing observer, Emmanuel Essien,
\nhave been granted bail.<\/p>\n
He
\nsaid from what he had gathered, the police had granted police inquiry bail to
\nthe crew.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen
\nI heard the report of the missing case on July 5, I asked them to lodge a
\nreport to the (Tema) Harbour police and the navy; all that was done. All the
\ncrew members were arrested and taken into custody. My information is that the
\npolice in the process of their investigation granted them police inquiry bill
\nand have even called for an extract and a sea trip,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
Essien,
\na fishing observer assigned to the MengXin 15, a Chinese vessel operating in
\nGhana, had been reported missing for about three weeks now.<\/p>\n
Some
\nthree weeks ago, Essien embarked on a scheduled observer mission with the said
\nvessel but has since not been seen and his colleagues are alleging that the
\nvessel returned from its deep-sea operations without the observer.<\/p>\n
It
\nis standard practice to assign observers to foreign and local fishing vessels
\nthat fish in Ghanaian waters.<\/p>\n
The
\nmonitoring, control and surveillance department of the Ministry for Fisheries
\nand Aqua Culture is responsible for the assignment of observers.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically,
\nevery fishing vessel goes to sea on board with an observer who will record all
\nactivities at sea and report back to the Ministry of Fisheries. Recently, there
\nwas a Chinese vessel by name MengXin 15 with observer Emmanuel on board.<\/p>\n
\u201cFive
\ndays after the trip, the vessel came back reporting that the observer was
\nmissing,\u201d one of the observers told Citi
\nNews<\/em> on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\nSource:
