Synopsis (short abstract) The Government of Somalia has acquired a fleet of commercial fishing vessels and has requested advice from the Indian Ocean Programme on their management. The present report reviews the vessels operational possibilities as well as the actions necessary to realize them. The report recommends that management be contracted to a suitably qualified fishing company and that a state-owned corporation be established to own the vessels and eventually to manage theme The report contains financial and staf fing tables and an outline of points for a corporate statute and a management contract.

Chilled seawater systems are a comparatively recent innovation. The Consultant was familiar with progress made on the Pacific coast of Canada where the development of systems for salmon and herring transport and storage has been intensive and CSW systems are now the most common method for short-term preservation of fish. Several attempts were made to introduce the handling of sardine and mackerel in shallow plastic boxes, which is the standard procedure in the Mediterranean sardine industry, and quality results were excellent. This method of handling did not, howeve~ prove practical for commercial use since the fishermen are used to handling in bulk and on deck. Moreover, refrigerated seawater systems were unfeasible not only as the capital cost was prohibitive for installation in the small vessels (30-45 ft), but also because they presented technical problems of maintenance and operation beyond the capabilities of the fishermen. Thus, it appeared that a chilled seawater system would i deally suit the present conditions of the growing purse seine industry of southwest India

The author was asked to provide assistance in the preparation of a feasibility study on fishing harbours, slipways and dry docks for fishing vessels only. Also a similar study for cold storage chains for building and equipping the above-mentioned installations. A visit for a reconnaissance survey was arranged, and after a brief stopover with the Regional Fisheries Project at Doha, Qatar, arrived in Dubai on 6 February. During his mission, the coastline of the United Arab Emirates facing the Gulf of Oman and those portions of the western coastline on the Gulf between the Oman border and Abu Dhabi were inspected. Aerial examinations by military helicopter, with photographs, were conducted of the same stretches of coastline.

The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels 2016

The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels provides a single access point for information on vessels used for fishing and fishing-related activities to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. As such, it gathers and disseminates certified, unequivocal information about vessels and vessel-related activities provided by the official State authorities responsible for it. It also gathers and provides historical information, such as data on vessels not currently holding any fishing authorization. IUU fishing accounts for USD 10-23 billion worth of fish taken annually. This means that 1 in 5 fish is taken from the world’s oceans using IUU fishing methods, posing a serious sustainability issue for our oceans and for their eco-system management. The Global Record aims to strengthen fisheries management and the sector’s sustainability in order to contribute to human and ecosystem well-being.
