I-VMS roll-out schedule released in England.
Following last week’s announcement of the restart of the roll-out of Inshore Vessel Monitoring System (I-VMS) devices, MMO has released further details on the schedule and plan for English port visits.
From 9 August 2023, fishers have been able to purchase, and arrange the installation of, a type-approved device, either the Fulcrum NEMO or Succorfish SC2, directly with suppliers. To help both industry and suppliers coordinate installations effectively, MMO has shared information on a series of scheduled port visits running from 4 September to 30 November 2023.
There are no port visits in the North West in Phase one: 4 – 24 September 2023.
However, Whitehaven has been included in Phase two: 2 – 22 October 2023.
