Call for Pacific nations to look for suspected pirate vessel

Pacific countries are being warned about a suspected pirate fishing boat that has fled Kiribati authorities and run to the high seas.

Greenpeace is calling for all Pacific Island countries to keep an eye out for, and to investigate on sight, the Dongwon 117, which is Korean owned .

The fishing boat has been at sea for over a year, and has consistently failed to report to relevant authorities, which means there is no way of knowing where the ship has been, nor how much it has caught.
