Fishing vessels with crews of forced labourers behave in systematically different ways to the rest of the global fleet, according to a new study that used satellite data, machine learning and the on-the-ground expertise of human rights practitioners to identify such vessels.
In the study, the first of its kind, up to 26 percent of about 16,000 industrial fishing vessels analysed by United States researchers were shown to be at high risk of using forced labour.
As many as 100,000 people are estimated to work on these high-risk vessels, many of whom are potential victims of forced labour. The study also showed where these high-risk vessels fished and the ports they visited.
