\n

For some years now fishing vessels of 15 metres and over have been operating a satellite-based vessel monitoring system to comply with EU Regulations. That requirement is now extended to vessels of 12m overall length and over by Council Regulation (EC) No 1224\/2009<\/a> and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 404\/2011<\/a> <\/p>\n

The introduction of VMS to these smaller vessels is now almost complete. The MMO is therefore now in a position to accept grant aid applications for replacement terminals for vessels over 15m. <\/p>\n

Process<\/h2>\n

Grant aid up to a maximum of \u00a32,000 may be available for the new device for English fishing vessels. <\/p>\n

Once the MMO receives application forms and clarifies these meet the eligibility criteria it will contact the supplier, AST, who will in turn arrange for a time and date for installation. After AST install the device they will then invoice the MMO for payment. <\/p>\n

Application forms and further guidance is available from the MMO website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Grant aid is time-limited and early application is therefore strongly recommended. In order to apply for grant aid, completed applications must be with the MMO by 20 February 2015.<\/p>\n

Failure to apply is likely to result in vessel owners paying at least \u00a32,400 for the new device.<\/p>\n

For more information contact Ray Hedley on 0300 123 1032.<\/p>\n

Reminder on grant for e-logbook software upgrade<\/h3>\n

The MMO wrote to the fishing industry on 14 January about grant aid to upgrade the separate e-logbook software systems. The deadline for this was 6 February. Anyone who has not yet applied should contact the MMO as soon as possible. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
