Definitions and applications

§ 1. For the purposes of this notice :

1) The Farther Monitoring System (FOS) : the entire system for reception and treatment of a vessel's position report (s) :

2) Vesssurveillance unit (FOE) : The electronic equipment on board a fishing vessel, that is, power supply, transceiver and antenna, sending reports to the FOS.

3) Colour Monitoring Centre (FMC) : Fisheries Monitoring Centre.

4) DNID and Member No : Unique identification of the vessel ' s FOE, which is installed in FOE.

Paragraph 2. FOE shall transmit :

1) Correct positioning messages with the following content : the identity, position, course and speed of the vessel, and the time of measurement.

2) The status codes that the FOE system automatically generates by interruptions of normal transmission.

§ 2. The announcement shall apply to the Danish registered fishing vessels which have a length of more than 15 metres in length.

FP of FOE

§ 3. Vessels referred to in Section 2 may not leave port and start a catch voyage without the fishing industry being informed of the DNID and Member No.

Paragraph 2. If a FOE is deleted because the vessel owner changes existing FOE, or because the vessel is deleted as registered fishing vessels, the vessel owner shall inform the Directorate-General on the DNID and Member Member No. for the FOE which is deleted.

§ 4. FOE shall transmit the positioning messages referred to in section 1 (1). 2, for FOS at least 1 time per hour.

Paragraph 2. In addition to the vessel ' s own DNID and Member States, cf. Section 3, paragraph 3. 1, the Fisheries Directorate shall transmit its DNID and Member No to the ship ' s FOE, in order to enable the Fisheries Directorate to obtain current position communications from the vessel at all times.

Technical malfunction or function failure

§ 5. It shall be prohibited to begin or take part in any form of fishing, including fishing, joint fishing, and transhipments if the FOE of the vessel is not working. From the date on which the master or his representative finds or informed that the FOE is not working, the person concerned shall :

1) The fishing is immediately suspended.

2) All tools are immediately taken on board.

3) The vessel shall be sailed in port with a view to the repair of FOE.

4) The Fisheries Directorate shall be informed forthwith that the FOE is not working, cf. Annex 1.

Paragraph 2. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 1 may allow the fishing journey to be completed before leaving the vessel in port if this is not considered to be a control risk.

Paragraph 3. From the point of paragraph 1. the time limit for entry into the port of the vessel shall be issued with the same time limit, as specified in Section 4 (1). 1. The messages shall be issued in accordance with the requirements set out in Annex 1.

Paragraph 4. The specification of the positioning messages, cf. paragraph 3 shall continue until the Board of Fisheries has given a clear message to the master of the vessel that the FOE functions again.

§ 6. The master of the vessel shall ensure that on board the vessel is sound to the international emergency and call frequencies, (VHF, medium-wave, digital selective call) as well as on satellite communications from sea to vessel if the vessel is equipped ; so that the Directorate-General may inform the master of errors in FOE, which the Fisheries Directorate has established on the basis of external or defective positioning reports.

§ 7. The owner of the vessel owner or the master shall inform the Fisheries Directorate of the vessel or shipyards if this activity involves the termination of the position transmission emissions from the FOOT of the vessel. Notification shall be made by sending a communication to the Fisheries Directorate in accordance with Annex 1 prior to the outage of the positioning transmission.

Paragraph 2. In the event of a resumption of normal activity, the vessel owner must, before the end of the last dispatched position, send a positioning position, cf. Annex 1, with the indication that the vessel is back in normal activity. A vessel has a duty to ensure that the vessel is not silent when a trapping voyage is started.

§ 8. A vessel owner may, upon notification of the Fisheries Directorate, be authorised to send a smaller frequent frequency than set forth in section 4 (2). 1.

Paragraph 2. That is a condition for the one in paragraph 1. 1 mention of the authorisation of the vessel owner before documents to the Fisheries Directorate that there is a function in FOE, which limits the port area geographically.

Paragraph 3. If the terms of the permit are not complied with, the Fisheries Directorate may withdraw the authorisation.

Expenditures of expenditure

§ 9. All purchases, installation, transmission, repair, and operation will be borne by the vessel owner. Until 1. In January 2010, however, the Directorate-General will, however, hold the transmission charges for position messages sent to the Fisheries Directorate via FOE.
