Nusa has ceased operations as a result to (sic) interference by Sir Hugo Berghuser in a lengthycourt challenge.As evident from attachments herewith, Sepik Sea Products Ltd is a privately owned companycontrolled by Sir Hugo Berghuser. This company was never given approval by the ProvincialGovernment to o business in the East Sepik Province. There are instances of foul play and fishydeals in the way Sir Hugo has been given approval to attain certain properties owned by theESDECO, the defunct business arm of the East Sepik Provincial Government, and also theapproval to do business in the fisheries industry.As a citizen I feel compelled to request your office to seriously investigate and establish as towhether or not:1. Fisheries Management Regulations 1999 has been complied with;2. The people of East Sepik Islands and the coastal communities will ever benefit from thiscompany;3. The business proposals contained in the MOU with the East Sepik ProvincialGovernment has (sic) the approval from the Provincial Executive Council (PEC) prior togranting of a fishing license.As far as I am concern (sic), there are a lot of anomalies and irregularities in the formation of thiscompany. Therefore the said company, Sepik Sea Products Ltd., does not qualify to be given afishing license to do business in East Sepik and Papua New Guinea as a whole.This is so when we refer to Section 26 of the Fisheries Management Regulation 1999.I trust that you will take note of my concern that is the concern also of other resource owners andmake a favorable consideration in the process of issuing license.Yours Faithfully,Nick ArtekainChairman, Nusa Business Group11. NAC studyIn a 2001 report conducted by the National Aids Council into HIV/AIDs in the PNG fishingindustry, rapid focus group assessments of industry workers in various locations in Madang,Kavieng and Port Moresby, confirmed that the Fishing Industries are a high-risk group that lackknowledge on Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and HIV/AIDS; they are a group of peoplevulnerable and prone to opportunistic infections out at sea… Myth about condom use among thetop management level is noted and [it is ]strongly believed that it promotes promiscuity with thenotion that condoms are safe so people resort to multiple sex partners (sic)... The mobility ofmen traveling in countries for trade and business relating matters attract more sex workers tosell sex. In Papua New Guinea women are brought on to the ships clandestinely and this leads tosharing, locally women as line-ups or single fail or a 4-line or an idiom commonly used byvillage youths. In Madang women who come in from settlements and villages near by solicitcanoe owners for sex to board the ships at night. Crew on fishing carrier ships often negotiatefor sex with undersize fish stored in the warehouse, as they say “wan pak, wan pis” (One fuck,one fish). The middle management or observers act as pimps bringing women to carrier shipswhen anchored at the harbours… Apart from all this happenings, the management of216
commercial industry still deny any involvement and thinks the practice occurs outside of work.Women transported home at late hours become victims of waiting youths who threaten theminto being raped, so in fear of being victimized women lose their job. …Thus unemployed girlsnow resort to selling sex to the crews because of frustrations [over] their earns meeting (sic)which is now a growing concern because of unwanted pregnancy and HIV (NAC 2001:3-4).)217
