    The scope of application extends to all vessels over 20 Gross Tonnage (GT) flying the national flag, as well as foreign-flagged vessels operating under charter agreements and association contracts. These vessels are classified under the following services: fishing, general cargo, cargo and passenger transport, hydrocarbon transport, passenger vessels carrying more than 12 passengers, all foreign-flagged fishing vessels entering Ecuadorian jurisdictional waters for commercial operations, and foreign-flagged vessels authorized to conduct internal movements within the Galapagos Archipelago.
