Navigating the Boundaries: Satellite Navigation Must Be Paired with Captain's Experience to Avoid Encroaching on Mainland Waters

Reported about 1 year ago

In recent days, several Taiwanese fishing vessels have been caught by Chinese coast guard and Japanese government vessels for fishing in prohibited areas, highlighting the challenges faced by fishermen in distinguishing boundaries at sea. While satellite navigation helps with directions, it cannot identify restricted zones, requiring captains to rely on their experience to prevent unintentional territorial violations. The incidents underscore the importance of seafaring knowledge and technology in avoiding conflicts and ensuring maritime safety.
