    The Expert workshop on developing guidelines for inspection and valuation of small-scale fishing vessels, was held at FAO headquarters in Rome on 24–26 September 2024. Thirty-two fisheries insurance experts, maritime safety inspectors, naval architects, fisheries associations and fisheries experts, as well as representatives of the Africa Rural and Agricultural Credit Association, the Asia-Pacific Rural and Agricultural Credit Association, the International Maritime Organization and the CAFI-SSF Network participated in the workshop. The workshop was organized by FAO to address some of the key barriers in the supply of insurance services to small-scale fishers worldwide, such as the limited knowledge of fishing vessels and fishing operations among insurers, gaps in safety inspections of small fishing vessels, and the perceived low profitability, high transaction costs, and cumbersome administrative processes associated with small fishing vessel insurance services.The workshop aimed to develop tools to facilitate the supply of insurance services for the millions of small fishing vessels of less than 12 metres in length that operate in developing countries.The workshop discussed and contributed to the finalization of guidelines and checklists for the survey and inspection of small fishing vessels and insurance value and risk assessment of small fishing vessels. Subjects discussed included the conduct of small fishing vessel surveys, practical vessel stability tests, safety inspections methods, value and risk assessment methods, vessel depreciation assessment tools, and methods to fast-track insurance supply for small fishing vessels.
