This report shall be presented no later than the last day of the month following the month concerned. Should this provision not be adhered to, Mozambique reserves the right to suspend the licence of the offending vessel until the formality has been complied with.\n(c) Each shrimp vessel fishing in Mozambican waters under the Agreement shall inform the radio station ‘Radio Naval’, on a daily basis, of its geographical position.
