Georgetown – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed reports that two Guyanese registered fishing vessels – the Lady Nayera and the Sea Wolf – operating off the coast of Waini Point within Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone, were recently intercepted by Venezuelan naval vessel Commandante Hugo Chavez GC 24.
In a statement, late Saturday, the ministry said the captains of both fishing vessels were instructed to chart a course to Port Guiria where the boats and crew have been detained.
“To date, the Government of Guyana has not been informed by the Government of Venezuela of the detention of its nationals. The Venezuelan vessel was illegally manoeuvring within Guyana’s EEZ and Contiguous Zone when it intercepted, boarded and commandeered the Guyanese fishing vessels.”
