PART I

SEAFO transhipment declaration

TRANSHIPMENT DECLARATION

1. General rule

In the case of transhipment, the master of the fishing vessel shall enter the quantities on the transhipment declaration. A copy of the transhipment declaration shall be handed to the master of the recipient vessel.

2. Procedure for completion
  • (a) Entries on transhipment declaration shall be legible and indelible.
  • (b) No entry on the transhipment declaration may be erased or altered. If a mistake is made, the incorrect entry shall be struck out with a line and followed by a new entry initialled by the master or his agent.
  • (c) One transhipment declaration should be completed for each transhipment operations.
  • (d) Each page of the transhipment declaration shall be signed by the master.
3.

Responsibilities of the master in respect of the landing declaration and the transhipment declaration

The master of the vessel shall certify with his initials and signature that the estimated quantities entered on the transhipment declaration are reasonable. The copies of the transhipment declaration must be kept for one year.

4. Information to be provided

The estimates of the quantities trans-shipped are to be indicated on the SEAFO transhipment declaration form, as specified in the footnotes to this form, for each species, and in respect of a particular voyage.

5.

Procedure of transmission

- (a) In the case of transhipment to a vessel flying the flag of a Contracting Party State or registered in a Contracting Party, the first copy of the transhipment declaration shall be handed over to the master of the recipient vessel. The original shall be handed over or dispatched, as the case may be, to the authorities of the Contracting Party whose flag the vessel is flying or in which it is registered, within 48 hours of completion of landing or on arrival in port.

  • (b) In the case of transhipment to a vessel flying the flag of a non-Contracting party, the original document shall be handed over or sent, as the case may be, as soon as possible to the Contracting Party whose flag the fishing vessel is flying or in which it is registered.
  • (c) In cases where it is impossible for the master to dispatch the original of the transhipment declarations to the authorities of the Contracting Party whose flag the vessel is flying or in which it is registered within the time limits specified, the information required in respect of the declaration shall be transmitted by radio or by other means to the authorities concerned.

The information shall be transmitted via the radio stations usually used, preceded by the name, the call sing and external identification of the vessel, and the name of its master.

In cases where it is not possible for the message to be transmitted by the vessel, it may be transmitted on the vessel's behalf by another vessel or by any other method.

The master shall ensure that information transmitted to radio stations is passed on in writing to the relevant authorities.

PART II

Guidelines for Design and Deployment of Tori Lines

- 1.These guidelines are designed to assist in the preparation and implementation of tori line regulations for longline fishing vessels. While these guidelines are relatively explicit, improvement in tori line effectiveness through experimentation is encouraged. The guidelines take into account environmental and operational variables such as weather conditions, setting speed and ship size, all of which influence tori line performance and design in protecting baits from birds. Tori line design and use may change to take account of these variables provided that line performance is not compromised. Ongoing improvement in tori line design is envisaged and consequently review of these guidelines should be undertaken in the future.

2.

Tori Line Design

  • 2.1.It is recommended that a tori line 150 m in length be used. The diameter of the section of the line in the water may be greater than that of the line above water. This increases drag and hence reduces the need for greater line length and takes account of setting speeds and length of time taken for baits to sink. The section above water should be a string fine line (e; g. about 3 mm diameter) of a conspicuous colour such as red or orange.
  • 2.2.The above water section of the line should be sufficiently light that its movement is unpredictable to avoid habituation by birds and sufficiently heavy to avoid deflection of the line by wind.
  • 2.3.The line is best attached to the vessel with a robust barrel swivel to reduce tangling of the line.
  • 2.4.The streamers should be made of material that is conspicuous and produces an unpredictable lively action (e.g. strong fine line sheathed in red polyurethane tubing) suspended from a robust three-way swivel (that again reduces tangles) attached to the tori line, and should hang just clear of the water.
  • 2.5.There should be a maximum of 5-7 m between each streamer. Ideally each streamer should be paired.
  • 2.6.Each streamer pair should be detachable by means of a clip so that line stowage is more efficient.
  • 2.7.The number of streamers should be adjusted for the setting speed of the vessel, with more streamers necessary at slower setting speeds. Three pairs are appropriate for a setting speed of 10 knots.

3. Deployment of Tori Lines

  • 3.1.The line should be suspended from a pole affixed to the vessel. The tori pole should be set as high as possible so that the line protects bait a good distance astern of the vessel and will not tangle with the fishing gear. Grater pole height provides greater bait protection. For example, a height of around 6 m above the water line can give about 100 m of bait protection.
  • 3.2.The tori line should be set so that streamers pass over baited hooks in the water.
  • 3.3.Deployment of multiple tori lines is encouraged to provide even greater protections of baits from birds.
  • 3.4.Because there is the potential for line breakage and tangling, spare tori lines should be carried on board to replace damaged lines and to ensure fishing operations can continue uninterrupted.
  • 3.5.When fishers use a bait casting machine (BCM) they must ensure co-ordination of the tori line and machine by:
  • (a) ensuring the BCM throws directly under the tori line protection and;
  • (b) when using a BCM that allows throwing to port and starboard, ensure that two tori lines are used.
  • 3.6.Fishers are encouraged to install manual, electric of hydraulic winches to improve ease of deployment and retrieval of tori lines.

ANNEX XV

Vessels engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries in the North Atlantic

  • 1.The Commission shall without delay inform Member States of vessels flying flags of non-contracting Parties to the Convention on Future Multilateral Co-operation in North-East Atlantic Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’) that have been sighted engaging in fishing activities in the NEAFC Convention Area and placed by the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) on a provisional list of vessels that are being presumed to be undermining the Recommendations established under the Convention. The following measures shall apply to these vessels:
  • (a) vessels that enter ports are not authorised to land or tranship therein and shall be inspected by the competent authorities. Such inspections shall include the vessel's documents, log books, fishing gear, catch onboard and any other matter relating to the vessel's activities in the Convention Area. Information on the result of the inspections shall immediately be transmitted to the Commission;

- (b) fishing vessels, support vessels, refuel vessels, mother-ships and cargo vessels flying the flag of a Member State shall not in any way assist the vessels or participate in any transhipment or joint fishing operations with the vessels;

- (c) the vessels shall not be supplied in ports with provisions, fuel or other services.
  • 2.In addition to the measures referred to in point 1, the following measures shall apply to vessels that have been placed by NEAFC on the list of vessels that have been confirmed as having engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries (IUU vessels):
  • (a) IUU vessels shall be prohibited from entering a Community port;
  • (b) IUU vessels shall not be authorised to fish in Community waters and be prohibited from being chartered;
  • (c) imports of fish coming from IUU vessels shall be prohibited;
  • (d) Member States shall refuse the granting of their flag to IUU vessels and prohibit importers, transporters and other sectors concerned to tranship and trade fish caught by such vessels.
  • 3.The vessels referred to in point 2 as well as the vessels placed on the IUU list established by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) are listed in the Appendix to this Annex.
  • 4.The Commission shall amend the list of IUU vessels to be in accordance with the NEAFC and NAFO IUU lists as soon as NEAFC adopts a new IUU list.
