Anguilla
fishing boat owners asked to obtain certificate of
registration before entering St. Martin waters. |
Department of
Fisheries and Marine Resources Press
Release.
January 2, 2008: All
fishing boat owners in Anguilla are kindly asked to refrain
from visiting St. Martin/St. Maarten without a valid
certification of registration for their boats. The French
authorities in St. Martin have advised their Anguillian
counterparts that all boats entering their maritime space
will result in a fine or other penalty if the captain of the
boat is not able to produce this document upon request.
A grace period until the end of January 2008 has been
granted by the French authorities. All boat captains are
kindly asked to ensure that they have a certification of
registration on board at all times. All fishing boat owners
should note that a Fishing Vessel Licence issued by the
Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources (DFMR) only
grants permission for a vessel to be used for fishing in
Anguillian waters and is not a certificate of registration.
Fishing boat owners who frequently visit St. Martin and who
are unsure about the registration status of their vessels
may visit DFMR’s office at Crocus Hill or may call telephone
number 497 2871 / 8705 to make their enquiry. |
