Abstract

This Scheme provides for the making of grants by the Scottish Ministers, in respect of the decommissioning of fishing vessels. Applications for grant will be considered in respect of vessels meeting the requirements set out in paragraph 3 of the Scheme. These include a requirement that to be eligible a vessel must be over 10 meters in length and licensed with a Category A license, other than a Category A (Pelagic Pursuer), a Category A (Pelagic Freezer) or a Category A (Pelagic Trawler) license. The vessel must also be a "Scottish based vessel" as defined in paragraph 3(5). Paragraphs 4 to 6 of the Scheme lay down a procedure for the making, consideration and approval of applications. Applications must be in respect of one vessel only and include a bid by the applicant for the amount of grant for which the applicant offers to decommission and de-register the vessel and surrender all licenses and claims to licenses in respect of the vessel. Bids will be selected for approval in accordance with paragraph 5. The amount of grant in respect of an approved application is the amount of the bid (paragraph 11) and provision is made concerning the method of payment of grant (paragraph 12).
