Authorities in southwestern Cameroon impounded a Chinese-manned vessel and arrested its crew for fishing illegally, bringing the number of Chinese vessels seized this month to three.

The vessel was found fishing in what’s marked as an offshore oil field in the Limbe area on July 16 and the Chinese crew was handed over to the state prosecutor for trial, according to the commander of the Limbe Naval Base, Emmanuel Sone Ngonge.
