The UK Coast Guard praised the actions of the fishing crew after one of their crew was bitten by the shark onboard their vessel. Namely, a man in his early twenties was bitten on the leg by a porbeagle shark after it was hauled onto the vessel "Govenek of Ladram" in one of their fishing nets at around 8.15am on Sunday 13 May.

As part of a commitment made to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) earlier this year, UASC has prohibited the carriage of shark fin and shark fin related products.

China's COSCO Shipping Corporation has announced that it will ban all shark fin shipments, joining a growing number of transport and logistics companies standing up against a brutal trade that kills millions of sharks annually.
