Trawlers Released
Captains Fined For Illegal Fishing
of
Oilo, Apr. 28-Two three British trawlers detained by Norwegian authorities for fishing in Norwegian terri- torial waters were released to- day after their captains agreed to pay penalties of 20,000 Kroner or about £1,000.
The police at Kirkenes told the Associated Pross that Captain Charles Roberts of the Folherby Fleetwood and Captain Robert Wil- son of the Equerry Grimsby admit- ted that they had been fishing in Norwegian waters when they were Belzed by a Norwegian corvette on Monday night.
They said they each had caught about 21 tons of fish in the waters near Kirkenes.
Green Captain Arthur
of the Lacenia Grimsby, denied fishing in Norwegian waters, but was fined 100 Kroner "because his fishing gear was on deck and he was obviously pre- paring to fish when detained," the police said.
The Lacenia left Kirkenes later on Tuesday night.
