Norwegian trawler arrested

The vessel was taken to Murmansk Friday and got a fine of more than one million Norwegian kroner, reports Haugesunds Avis.

M/S Traal has its homeport in Skudeneshavn in Southwestern Norway.

- One day earlier this week we were sailing inside an area that was set to be a non-trawling zone, says the vessels’ captin, Helge Eriksen to Haugesunds Avis.

The vessel left Murmansk on Saturday. M/S Traal was fishing capelin in the Barents Sea.
