Andrey Dolgov is a former long-line fishing boat. During the 2000s and 2010s, the ship—which was engaged in a far-reaching campaign of illegal fishing—was one of Interpol's most wanted ships. The Andrey Dolgov was captured and detained by the Indonesian navy in April 2018; as of 2019 the Indonesian government intended to refurbish the ship and incorporate it into Indonesia's fisheries enforcement fleet.
