Some, perhaps exciting chase?

Another reason as to why we need patrol vessels.

There's no hope of catching a whole group of illegal fishing boats, unless the DAFF fleet increases to dozens of vessels.

DAFF needs helicopters to supplement its vessels. I know the DAFF vessels are not armed themselves, but that they can dispatch an armed boarding party.

Hopefully the OPV's will patrol most of the time.

Sun evening and I see there are unconfirmed reports that SAS Drakensberg is escorting 3 Chinese Fishing Boats caught illegally fishing...into East London. Great if it is true and coupled to a conviction! BZ Navy.
