Regulation 18 Detention
In any case where a United Kingdom fishing vessel does not comply with the requirements of regulation 6 or 7, it shall be liable to be detained.
Where the steps taken by an inspector carrying out the control provisions of Part III involve detention of the vessel, or in the event of detention under paragraph (1), then section 284 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995f1 (which relates to the detention of a ship) shall have effect in relation to the vessel, subject to the modification that for the words “this Act”, wherever they appear, there shall be substituted “the Fishing Vessels (EC Directive on Harmonised Safety Regime) Regulations 1999”.
