Dispensation from weighing obligation – transport of fish (FD0028) (FD0028)
Vessels of less than 15 meters in overall length may be granted a temporary exemption from the obligation to weigh their catch. The exemption may be granted if there are no approved first-hand buyers or site where the fish can be landed and when the vessel has a disproportionately long distance to the reception facility in comparison with transport by motor vehicle. The exemption entails that the obligation to weigh the catch is postponed until the fisherman and catch arrive at the reception facility. The fisherman must personally drive/accompany the catch to the reception facility.
