organizations between 2020 and 2023. Twenty-five cases were not investigated because of indistinct subjects, vague or unsupported allegations, duplicate cases, or cases involving foreign-operated vessels not under Taiwanese jurisdiction. The resolved cases involved administrative penalties, referrals for legal action, or administrative guidance; 43 cases remain under investigation. In addition, 277 complaints regarding the rights of foreign crew hired under the overseas employment framework were referred to the Fisheries Agency by the Ministry of Labor's 1955 hotline during the same period. Of these, 262 cases have been closed. Common complaint types included requests for operators to pay wages owed before crew members deserted their vessels, recover deposits taken by brokers, and retrieve passports withheld by operators or brokers as part of immigration procedures. 60 The Fisheries Agency has also implemented a policy to promote regular port calls, reducing the time fishing vessels spend at sea. This policy provides fishers with more opportunities to come ashore and access external support and resources more easily.
