Details

The declaration of eligibility form (MSF 4728) should be completed in addition to your application form to register a UK fishing vessel (MSF 4740B).

All sections of the form are to be completed.

The register is a public register from which any person can obtain a transcript of entries in the register.

Note: Every fishing vessel needs to be licensed to fish by the appropriate fisheries administration (for example, Marine Management Organisation) before it may fish for profit. If you do not have a licence or licence entitlement you should consult your local fishery or port office before applying to register your vessel.
