In an era of increasing scrutiny over high-seas fishing, Panama is leading the way with bold new regulations. As of April 15, 2025, all eligible Panama-flagged fishing vessels conducting transshipments at sea must be equipped with an onboard electronic monitoring system—complete with CCTV cameras, tamper-proof data storage, and monthly footage submissions to ARAP, Panama’s Aquatic Resources Authority.
These rules, outlined in Resolution ADM/ARAP No. 092, are designed to eliminate illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing—an issue that costs the global economy an estimated 26 million metric tons of lost catch each year.
So, what does this mean for your fleet?
If you’re operating without the proper monitoring system, you could soon face stiff penalties, including suspension of fishing activities. But navigating technical compliance can be overwhelming—until now.
