Details

This notice should be read in conjunction with the International Labour Organisation (ILO 188), the Merchant Shipping (Work in Fishing Convention) Regulations 2018, the latest amendments to MSN 1871(F), MSN 1872(F), and MSN 1873(F) and MGN 425 (M+F) amendment 1 and replaces MGN 413 (F).

In amendment 1, MCA updated the guidance to reflect current regulations and in response to more recent incidents on board fishing vessels. The annex “Dead ships can lead to dead fishermen” has been removed, and reference is now made to MGN 425 amendment 1, on assessment of risks for those sleeping on ‘dead ships’.

Amendment 2 corrects a drafting error in paragraph 3.2.5 and section 5.
