Regulation 13 Certification of non-United Kingdom fishing vessels
A non-United Kingdom fishing vessel must not enter United Kingdom waters unless—
if its registered length is 24 metres or over, it has been certified by its flag State as complying with the requirements of the Torremolinos Protocol, or
if its registered length is less than 24 metres, it has been certified by its flag State as complying with the requirements of that State applying to vessels of that length,
and must continue to so comply while in United Kingdom waters.
In paragraph (1)(a) and (b), “certified” includes any form of documentation issued by the flag State recording that the vessel has been surveyed or inspected and found to be in compliance with the State's safety requirements applicable to vessels of its length and which is valid throughout the time the vessel is in United Kingdom waters.
