According to Spanish sources, even at the same time as dissenting with the sanction, the owners of the vessel Pesqueras del Bon who sent two high ranking envoys of the company to Puerto Madryn, are prepared to pay the fine so that the ‘Piscator’ can abandon Argentina as any minute at this time as possible.
The Argentine government confirmed a fine of 5.3 million Pesos (approx 800.000 Euros) and another 300.000 Euros to liberate the forfeited catch on board, mostly squid, of the Spanish flagged vessel ‘Piscator’ caught last 2 July allegedly illegally operating in Argentine waters and which remains retained in Puerto Madryn.
The 72 metres long fishing vessel with its crew of 30 is docked in the Patagonian port since July 2, and crew and officers have been treated correctly and are allowed to go ashore and move around the city with not much restriction, according to Manuel Garcia Pastoriza and General Manager Carlos García from Pesqueras del Bon.
