Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law allows the registered data of fishing vessels to be corrected when it does not match reality, such as hull material, engine power or tonnage. The Registry of Ships and Shipping Companies is corrected first, and then the Operating Fishing Fleet Census.
  2. If the corrections increase a vessel's tonnage or engine power, other vessels must be removed from the fleet and scrapped to offset the increase. Each vessel can only use this update once during its useful life.
  3. Owners must apply for regularization before the regional government (Comunidad Autónoma) of the home port within four months. The region leads the process with reports from the Maritime Captaincy and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, and the maximum time to decide is two years.
  4. Vessels that fail the procedure, or whose owners do not apply, will be removed automatically from the records and will not be allowed to fish. In addition, no public aid is available to cover the costs of the regularization.

Who it affects

  • Owners of fishing vessels with incorrect registered data: They must apply within four months, offset any increases in tonnage or power, and pay the costs without public aid.
  • Regional governments (Comunidades Autónomas): They receive the applications, coordinate the file and decide on fisheries matters.
  • Maritime Captaincies (Capitanías Marítimas): They check the vessel's real measurements and update the Registry of Ships and Shipping Companies.
  • Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food: It reports on the files and updates the Operating Fishing Fleet Census.
