Synopsis (short abstract) Transshipment is a widespread practice in marine capture fisheries, that has recently been associated with a possible risk of introducing catches derived from illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing into the supply chain. This in-depth study was carried out in order to shed more light on the practice and make recommendations to inform future discussions on the development of international guidelines for the regulation, monitoring and control of transshipment. The report presents a background to the study, its approach and methodology, the key findings including possible elements of the guidelines, and discusses the main issues from the perspective of the risk of transshipment in supporting IUU fishing.

The FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment, endorsed by the Thirty-fifth Session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in 2022, set minimum international standards to regulate, monitor and control transshipments of fish, whether processed or not. The guidelines are intended to assist States and regional fisheries management organisations and arrangements (RFMO/As) when developing new transshipment regulations or revising existing ones.
