The factory ship Margiris is now called Abel Tasman after federal regulators approved its reflagging.
Its home port is Brisbane and that means it needs further certification from Queensland authorities.
Once this is completed, Seafish Tasmania will apply to have its 18,000 tonne quota transferred to the trawler.

There is no place for this vessel in our waters

This thing resembles traditional fishing the same way a dragline excavator resembles hand tilling your veggie garden.
It's plain crazy to allow an alien mega ship to come in, rape your waters, then piss off when the damage is done. How dumb are we?
They should have re-named it the "Dennis Ferguson" because it'll get run out of town where-ever it goes.
And Horse is dead right. It has no place in our waters.
I intend on living for-ever....so far so good
apparently it won't be fishing in queensland waters, it just uses brisbane as it's base and will still fish the same waters that it would have fished if was based down south. what's astonishing about this is that our state government have made it welcome when other state governments have made it unwelcome. Is this how the LNP will be responsibly manageing our fisheries or even our environment?????? ie. if you come here with enough money you can do anything you like????? that's the sort of thing that happens in third world east africa, surely not in first world east coast australia ..............................
Have you seen our current government? Normally made up of people that are so far up their own arses they have no clue how a person spends their time. It's all about polls.Originally Posted by WalrusLike
