In addition to the information specified in Articles 14 and 15 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009..., the masters of United Kingdom fishing vessels shall record, either in a bound paginated fishing logbook or by electronic means, the following:\n(a) each entry into and exit from the Regulatory Area;\n(b) on a daily basis and/or for each haul the estimated cumulative catches retained on board since the last entry into the Regulatory Area;\n(c) on a daily basis and/or for each haul the amount of fish discarded;\n(d) immediately after each communication pursuant to Article 9, the date and time, according to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), of transmission of a report and, in the case of radio transmission, the name of the radio station through which the report was transmitted;\n(e) the fishing depth, where appropriate.\n2. The masters of United Kingdom fishing vessels engaged in fishing activities carried out in respect of regulated resources and which process and/or freeze their catch shall:\n(a) record their cumulative production by species and product form in a production logbook; and\n(b) stow in the hold all processed catch in such a way that the location of each species can be identified from a stowage plan maintained on board the fishing vessel.\n3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, a fisheries administration may exempt from the obligation to record in a fishing logbook or electronically a vessel engaged in transhipment operations which on-loads quantities on board. Vessels benefiting from this derogation shall specify in a stowage plan the location in the hold of frozen fish referred to in Article 14(1) and record in a production logbook:\n(a) the date and time, according to UTC, of transmission of a report referred to in Article 9;\n(b) in the case of radio transmission, the name of the radio station through which the report was transmitted;\n(c) the date and time, according to UTC, of the transhipment operation;\n(d) the location (latitude/longitude) of the transhipment operation;\n(e) the quantities of each species on-loaded;\n(f) the name and international radio call sign of the fishing vessel from which the catch has been off-loaded.\n4. Detailed rules for the implementation of this Article shall be determined in accordance with Article 50(2).",
