Description:

Another Bissau-registered fishing vessel (GNB flag, reg BI-545-C) of unknown origin.
Has apparently been moored at Aveiro for at least a couple of years. Possibly detained.

In 2014 a Portuguese fishing vessel, EISKOS (IMO 9189483) sailed from Vigo, loaded 15 tons of hashish off Morocco, and disguised her as CORSARIO 1, port of registry Bissau, and fishery number BI-545-C. She was being tracked, and was detained off Almeria.

Then this one appears, with a similar name and identical official number. Was this implicated in some way, perhaps as a legitimate "cover"?

Su armador es el mismo armador del ORCA, ex Madalena, ex Ruivo entre otros nombre. Subió el Orca que actualmente está varado en Astilleros joaquín castro de A Guarda, estaba preparando el Corsario, y en medio de todo eso,"compró" el EISKOS.....

Thanks Gramata. That may also be a false name. Is there any judicial case that is on-line?
