List of I-VMS type approved devices for under 12 metre English vessels
Information to support commercial fishers on under 12 metre English vessels.
Important update – April 2024
The I-VMS roll-out programme closed in December 2023, with over 80% of the English under-12 metre inshore fleet purchasing a device and claiming back £1.3 million of European Maritime & Fisheries Fund (EMFF) for purchase and installation costs.
Vessels will need have a type approved device installed and operating when the new legislation comes into effect, which we expect to happen in 2024.
Purchasing a device is the first step in preparing for this new legislation. Fishers should now arrange installation of their devices as a priority.
Please visit our guidance pages for further information on next steps to purchase or install a device.
Approved Devices
The following tracking devices have passed the MMO I-VMS type approval process, by meeting the I-VMS device specification of requirements. All products have undergone evaluation under the I-VMS approval process and are expected to last for at least five years provided they are handled appropriately. All of these products have been designed in order to be suitable for vessels with or without on-board power.
Fishers should consider the suitability of each device for the vessel and their business, including any warranties, support services, costs and payment plans that suppliers may offer.
