"So what they allow is going out at sea and getting the cargo, bringing it back to port while the fishing vessels keep fishing. And that's the main job that they are doing," researcher Jean-Baptiste Jouffray explained.
"Tracking the refrigerated ships, also known as reefer vessels, could be key to making the ocean supply chain more transparent and spotting illegal fishing," the researchers stated.
"But what has been unknown is who actually owns them. And that's partly because the way that global shipping is organized, which is a challenge we are working to address."
