Vessel Tracking

Law 204

Does the law/regulation require or exempt fishing vessels to keep VMS turned on, or is there no provision?

  • article 145

    Translated text:

    Not having Satellite Communication Equipment (VMS) installed on board the ship or not issuing or providing the information of said signal (coordinates, speed and direction) to the Authority's fishing control and monitoring center, for a period greater than twenty-four consecutive hours" is considered a serious offense.
