KOTA KINABALU: Maritime personnel learned how to chase away intruding vessels using a piece of equipment that emits extremely loud sound in a four-day training with a Japanese governmental agency here.

Some 30 officers and personnel members from the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency took part in the Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and United Nationa Convention On The Law Of The Sea workshops with the Japan International Cooperation Agency starting from Jan 9 in the waters off the state capital.

Saiful said the workshops on the MMEA vessel KM Arau also involved training sessions to operate the long-range acoustics device . "This device is used as a tool to drive away intruding vessels that refuse to cooperate or act aggressively," he added. Earlier, the MMEA received four LRADs contributed by the Japanese government during the launching of the IUU and Unclos workshops.
