Resumen

This Marine Notice advises and provides guidance and regulations for Owners, Operators and Masters of Liberian-flagged vessels, including reefer, bunker and supply vessels, involved in or that plan to be involved in transshipment activities in certain sea areas or of specific species of fish managed by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (“RFMOs”) worldwide (NEAFC; WCPFC; SPRFMO; IOTC; ICCAT; IATTC). To help curb IUU fishing, RFMOs, which are regional organizations formed by countries with fishing interests, some of which manage all the fish stocks found in a specific area, have established measures to enhance monitoring, control and surveillance and to penalize noncompliance. As a Cooperating Non-Contracting Member to certain RFMOs, the Liberia Administration, Owners, Operators and Masters of vessels registered in Liberia must ensure that their vessels comply with applicable regulations to prevent IUU fishing, which includes unauthorized transshipment activities. Indications are given to Liberian vessels on, among other things, procedures regarding transshipment authorization, VMS, inclusion in RFMOs’ Record of Vessels, observer programmes, inspections, observation of flag state obligations, control on landings or transshipments in port.
