# The Marking of Creels (Scotland) Order 2020, Article 4: Requirement to display PLN number on marker buoys


(1) This article applies where any creel or fleet of creels is deployed for fishing in connection with a licensed fishing boat.
(2) A marker buoy must display the same PLN number as is displayed on the hull of the licensed fishing boat from which the marker buoy is deployed.
(3) The PLN number must be displayed on the marker buoy—
(a) as high above the water as possible so as to be clearly visible, and
(b) in a colour contrasting with the surface on which it is displayed so as to be clearly legible.
(4) Only one PLN number must be displayed on a marker buoy and, in the case of a fleet of creels, all marker buoys fixed to it must display the same PLN number.
(5) The PLN number displayed on a marker buoy must not be effaced, altered or allowed to become illegible.
