THE Taiwanese tuna longliner Ho
Tsai Fa No. 18 (30 metres), whose skipper is feared killed, ran aground off Bali on July 16.
Mystery surrounds the arrival of the ship off Padang Padang beach. Locals woke on July 12 to see the vessel foundering on a reef. Looters emptied her holds of tuna and shark which is believed to have been caught illegally.
Police are trying to find the vessel’s Indonesian crew and Taiwanese skipper, Tsai Wen-chen. Taiwanese authorities sought Indonesia’s help to find the vessel several weeks ago after she failed to return from a fishing trip off Papua.
