The Importance Of Comprehensive Risk Analysis Prior To Arrival At Port

Different forms of maritime crime converge behind the activity of distant water fishing fleets. These crimes include human trafficking and forced labour, as well as distinct forms of human rights violations on board, which, given the seriousness and aberrant nature of their consequences, deserve special and prominent attention. The brief arrivals of these vessels into port represent the best opportunities for the prevention, detection and repression of this type of crime, where a comprehensive risk analysis prior to their arrival would greatly contribute to achieving these objectives.
