Abstract

This Measure of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) requires each Contracting Party to ensure that its fishing vessels, licensed in accordance with Conservation Measure 10-02, are equipped with an Automatic location communicator (ALC) that meets the minimum standards contained in Annex 10-04/C and to ensure that its Fisheries monitoring centre (FMC) can automatically receive and transmit VMS data from ALCs. Fishing vessel masters, owners or their authorised representatives whose fishing vessel is subject to this conservation measure, shall ensure that the ALC on board their fishing vessel transmits VMS data in accordance with paragraph 2, to the Flag State while the vessel is in the Convention Area. The Secretariat shall report annually to the Commission on the implementation of, and compliance with, this conservation measure.
