A Chinese fishing vessel, Hongrun 668, has raised concerns in Peru's fishing industry due to its quick movements and short stays in Peruvian ports, including the Port of Callao. The vessel, which traveled over 2,500 nautical miles in 10 days, has sparked worries about sustainable fishing practices and the need for better enforcement of Peruvian fishing regulations. The Peruvian Ministry of Production implemented new rules in September requiring foreign ships to install the Peruvian Satellite Monitoring System (SISESAT), but the vessel, like other foreign fleets, has refused to comply, leading to calls for increased government transparency and enforcement.
