hi ppl,
I bought a boat and this is registered under 'S' category, can I go fishing under this category or is ellegal ?
yes you can.
S is just the same as MFC.
ax habib tieghi qalli li daghjes iregistrati taht 's' category huwa illegali u qaali bix naqliba mfc
Because a friend of mine said that boats under 'S' category are illegal and he suggested that I switch to MFC
PS: @ Effects once a post is started in English we keep it that way. Same applies if started in Maltese. So please in this post express yourself in English. Thanks regards Shanook
Its not true, infact they are not registering s boats as mfc anymore.
sry for replying in maltese i'm new in here so what's the difference between 's' register to mfc?
and if i go to transfer it from 's' to mfc it's not possible anymore?
there is no differance........... it is not possible to have it transferred either........
Bigboy, are you sure that you can go "fishing" with S registered boats for everything, i.e. with parit, konz etc???? The info I have here is not the same as you are implying....
Thats what i tought..
s is the same as mfc.you can fish with everything except with all kinds of nets and surface longlines for swordfish,tuna and albacore,
one cannot transfer an s to mfc nowadays as they are the same
For recreational fishing as the others have pointed out S is fine. Only brand new vessels will be accepted on the MFC register therefore as yours is already registered like the others have pointed out you will have to remain as S.
You can fish for most things, it's only if you want to consider MFB (part time commercial fisherman) and then Bigboy and some others can best advise you.
this relates to your query, however it is in maltese:

Translation of the highlighted part.....
The use of any nets and longlines of swordfish tuna and albacore may not be used by vessels in this catagory (Recreational 'S' and MFC). In this catagory however other mthods may be used such as bottom longlining, traps and trolling as per Subsiduary legislation 425.01, Fishing Regulations.
Fish caught on recreational vessels is to be kept for personal consumption and cannot be commercialised... i.e. it cannot be sold.
it can only be sold if all proceeds go to charity.
Shaftbomb my friend with s and mfc you can fish with all types of gear except surface longlines for tuna, sworfish and albacore, and also with nets. But you can use bottom longlines and even octopus traps.
Last time i was at the fisheries to collect some papers regarding the big boat i asked again about s and mfc and rita told me do not bother about it because there is no difference.
Also i was told that if the big boat which is mfb has and problems with the engines we can use the small boat by obtaining a fisheries permission !!!
PARIT NO NO for s and mfc...............bottom long lines traps (octapus), trolling, jigging, deep fishing all Ok......
exactly..... that's what bigboy and i were saying.....
anyhow, this further illustrates that the activity in the pictures in the below thread are illeagal!!!

Qieghed f'dilemma x'se nirregistru d-dghajsa l-gdida - jekk hux 'S' jew 'MFC'. Id-differenza hija li 'S' tigi 50 Euros u 'MFC' tigi 466 Euros (Lm200). Plus li jekk xi darba nbigh id-dghajsa min se jixtri jrid jerga' jhallas Lm200. X'tahsbu?!
bl-s kemm tista tohrog il-barra ? tafu hbieb ?
malvizzu trid tara, ghax bhal issa hawn ghajdut li bl s ma tistax tohrog tistad izjed fid dlam, trid tkun gewwa f postok meta jkun id dlam pero ma nafx dan hux veru. Bhala metodi ta sajd mem l ebda differenza bejn l s u l mfc !!!
Jien kiku s nirregistrahha ax izjed wertit. li ghandek huwa li trid thallas izjed matul is sena hux ghax ghandek l insurance compulsery. bl mfc 23 euros biss
@ Freedive - id-dghajsa 14-il pied.
@ markus - bl-'S' tista' tohrog 12NM outside baseline (il-perimeter tal-gzejjer Maltin li jinkludi l-Filfla).
@ bigboy - bil-lejl ma nahsibx li nohrog nistad, aktar tinkwetani jekk ihallunix nistadu bir-rixa, ghal tal-qiegh u bin-nases, u jekk ihallunix nohorgu sa 12NM il barra. Bizzejjed hx***a bid-delizzju tal-kacca, issa tas-sajd ikun jonqosni. L-insurance dejjem jaqbillek taghmilha, sew jekk 'S' u sew jekk 'MFC', ghall-gid taghna wara kollox.
bl S kemm ha thallas fis sena al 50 hp ? trid tnaqqas dan l ammont minn 23 euros u tara kemm iddum biex igib d differenza bejn l 466 euros u l 50 euros.
Ma ninsewx li dawn c ciefri jistaw jinbidlu. kull ma iridu huwa li jigi l bagit u din s sena ikun rahshom b ammont u jigi l bagit ta wara u jollijhom bid dopju u naqra biex l gvern ikun dejjem minn fuq. bhal ma jaghmel ghal petrol u d diesel. irahsu b 1 c u jollih b 5 c .
meta ftit tal-gimghat ilu ghid li ahna is-sajjieda jenhtieg niffurmaw union hadd ma irrisponda,lanqas wiehed!grazzi!
Union mhux idea hazina izda nassigurak habib illi ma taghmel xejn jekk il-gvern idahhal xi haga f'mohhu. Jien dilettant sew tal-kacca - u ara x'hadna - kanna wahda fuq ohra - ghax xeba' jitnejjek bina. Imbilli qeghdin fuq 15,000 registrati u ghandna ghaqda li tirsisti, xorta wahda li ried il-gvern ghamel.
il-kaccaturi kellhom il-maggoranza tal-poplu kontra,is-sajjieda le!
Jista' jkun li ghandek ragun. Fuq il-licenzja ta' 50HP fuq dghajsa registrata 'S' ma nafx kemm hi ezatt. Hemm xi mkien fejn nista' niccekkja?
+ il kaccaturi qedin fejn qedin llum habba l ftit 'kaccaturi' li hasbu li huma ghola mil ligijiet u kienu jisparaw fuq kull haga li ittir jew ticaqlaq .... min ghasfur tal bejt, al huttafa al kokka u anke kuccarda jew seqer........ sfortunatament ghalijom, sabu kappel jigijhom.... u wehhel kulhadd....... (ps. minix kontra l kacca f'malta, pero, kontra l-illegalitajiet li saru u li jibqaw jsiru)
Ghandek mitt elf ragun u naqbel mieghek perfettament Robby.
ara ma tahsbux li il-gvern ser jissogra li jitlef eluf ta voti biex isalva erba rixiet tafux! hu ikkalkula li iktar jakwista voti jekk jehoda kontra il-kacca milli favur.
Taf x naf jien ikollok delizzju ma tistax tiehu naqra pjacir bih.Il gvern x impurtah min dawn id delizzji.
