MCAFishing industry supervisory bodies
The MCA is encouraged to pursue its proposal to the International Maritime Organisation that all new abandonment (solid fill) lifejackets should have a minimum 150 Newtons buoyancy, that their testing regime be more robust and realistic and that they be fitted as standard with a retention device and sprayhood.
All relevant supervisory bodies should monitor carefully the compliance by the fishing industry with Merchant Shipping Notice 1884 (F), International Labour Organization Work in Fishing Convention (No 188): Working Time Application of the Fishing Vessels (Working Time: Sea-fishermen) Regulations 2004 as amended, and in particular Regulation 3.1 and in particular for share fishermen.
