Reported 12 months ago

At 11:16 am on July 2, 2024, the Taiwanese fishing boat 'Da Jin Man 88' from Penghu was taken to Weitou Port by the Chinese Coast Guard. The Taiwanese Coast Guard received a report from the owner of the fishing boat at 8:14 pm, stating that it was detained by two Chinese coast guard vessels off the coast of Kinmen. Despite the Taiwanese Coast Guard's attempts to rescue the fishing boat and calls for release, the Chinese coast guard did not comply, leading to the boat being taken to Weitou Port. The incident occurred during China's fishing moratorium season, and further coordination between Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council and Fisheries Agency is planned to secure the release of the detained individuals and vessel.
