It is recommended that the Ministry of the Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure adopt unified Rules for the statutory certification of fishing vessels, which will clearly define the required level of fire-fighting equipment for all fishing vessels (regardless of the year of construction) with the aim of ensuring that their use does not endanger the safety of persons, vessels, and the environment. Additionally, it should define the deadline by which existing vessels (built before January 1, 2008) must comply with the new requirements.
