The UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) has released a MGN pre-registration surveys for fishing vessels.

The Code of Practice for the Safety of Small Fishing Vessels of less than 15m Length Overall and the accompanying MSN 1871 Amendment 2 allow vessels of less than 15m Length Overall (LOA) built before 16 July 2007 to be considered by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) for Registration as fishing vessels.

MGN 630 Amendment 4 (F) Fishing vessels: Pre-registration surveys for fishing vessels sets out the process in place to ensure the MCA is satisfied vessels are safe and suitable for commercial fishing.

This note also states that existing vessels of 15m LOA to less than 24m Registered Length wishing to join the Register may also, on a case-by-case basis, undergo the Pre-Registration Survey and the Note sets out the processes in place for this.
This Amendment sets out a revision to the process by which Pre Registration Comparison Reports will now be submitted by the Fishing Vessel Certifying Authority (FVCA) to the MCA Statutory Services Delivery Team (SSDT).
