But the letter — which reveals the vessel briefly changed flag<br />
from Russia to Mongolia before re-flagging to Peru — stops<br />
short of saying whether or not Peru has granted this authorization.<br />
The letter’s vagueness and inclusion of technical details regarding<br />
the vessel could have been taken to interpret that<br />
Peru had approved the vessel for taking part in the fishery,<br />
which might be what caused Pacific Andes’ confusion, said this<br />
third source, familiar with the fishery but not related to the<br />
SPRFMO or to Pacific Andes.<br />
Even if this were the case, however, a country has to notify<br />

If so, he added, she should have been licensed by the flag<br />
state to take part in the squid fishery.<br />
Walsh said the vessel was in the area to wait the granting of<br />
the flag, but did not give further details.<br />
“On [April 28] the vessel arrived in Peruvian port of Ilo to complete<br />
the formalities to become Peruvian flagged,” Walsh<br />
told Undercurrent.<br />
“The vessel departed Ilo on May 9 and from May 11 stood off<br />
Peruvian waters to await the granting of the flag. On July 9,<br />
