Every Fishing Vessel must be surveyed before it can be registered on the UK Ship Register. Our general policy is for this survey to be carried out by a UK Ship Register surveyor; however, under certain circumstances, surveys can be carried out by a Class surveyor on our behalf. A transfer of flag survey can be arranged to suit the working pattern of the vessel to avoid any lost time.
The Principal Fishing Surveyor (PFS) will request a copy of all existing statutory certification in order that new certificates can be prepared prior to survey. If, at survey the vessel meets international standards of safety and pollution prevention, short-term certification can be issued immediately. Full term certification would then follow in due course.
Details of certification, plans and operational information will be discussed by the PSF with the owner.
