Since 2004, SEAFDEC Training Department has worked in close collaboration with the member countries and other key partners at both national and regional levels on utilization for the use of MV SEAFDEC2. The MV SEAFDEC2 has supported the member countries in assessing and utilizing their fishery resources. In a broader sense, the acquisition of MV SEAFDEC2 will help strengthen technical cooperation and effective fisheries and environmental management in the ASEAN region through the enhancement of research and training capability.
Over the years, more than 30 cruises have been carried out by MV SEAFDEC 2. Regarding operational coast of using MV SEAFDEC 2 until the year 2009, national research surveys was based on a cost-sharing policy using the budget from SEAFDEC’s Minimum Regular Contribution and the member countries, as adopted at the 37th Meeting of the Council of SEAFDEC in 2005.
Due to the globally increased oil price starting from the year 2006, consequently in early year 2009 this issue was discussed during the 40th Meeting of SEAFDEC Council. The Council agreed that the country that request to use MV SEAFDEC 2 should responsible for the cost incurred by the vessel. It is therefore agreed on modified cost-sharing policy that support of the fuel for the entire duration of the research/survey including cursing to and back to the requesting country; and this scheme will be implemented from the year 2010.
1. Assist member countries in conducting research surveys on fisheries resources (i.e. fishing trail and demonstration, ecosystem and hydro-acoustic surveys), oceanographic surveys, fish preservation, fish sampling and its species identification;
2. Assist member countries in building human capacity resources during the surveys onboard MV SEAFDEC2 based upon the request; and
3. Facilitate a new fishing ground establishment for the region (e.g. deep-sea fisheries, un-trawlable grounds, etc.)
