Vladivostok 2000 (ex-Damanzaihao) is the world's largest fish factory ship[5] with a mass of 49,367 tons and 228 meters in length.[2]

Since July of 2019, the vessel is Russia-flagged, owned by Pacific Marine Trawlers Ltd and operated by Dalmoreprodukt, both located at Vladivostok.

Previously the ship was sailing under flag of Belize and was owned by Peru-based Pacific Andes and 'Sustainable Fishing Resources', a subsidiary of the conglomerate China Fishery Group, which filed for bankruptcy in the United States on 30 June, 2016.[6]

The ship was built in 1980 as an oil tanker for a Norwegian company,[1] and was christened Freeport Chief, since then, it has been renamed Dorsetshire (1990), Protank Orinoco (1991), Vemacape (2009), Lafayette (2014) and lastly, Damanzaihao.[4][2][7] In 2008 the vessel was converted to a fish factory ship in a Chinese shipyard.[1][8]

Illegal fishing

In 2014, the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) put Damanzaihao on a draft list of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) vessels —bureaucratic speak for a pirate fishing boat.[4][1] following a review, its listing was confirmed in 2015[9] and fined $800,000 which remains unpaid.[1][10]

The ship was detained by agents from the Peruvian Environmental Prosecutor's Office on 30 May 2018 following additional allegations of illegal fishing and pollution of Chimbote Bay in Peru.[11] Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's MV John Paul DeJoria vessel operated in Peruvian waters to investigate and gather information to assist the government.[5][11]
