Recreational Fishermen should have a boat registered MFC or S ?
Does it make any difference ?
If I have a boat registered S will I be able to apply for the Applications for Recreational Fishermen Blue Fin Tuna Licences for 2013 ?
Thanks and regards Saviour Azzopardi

Saviour, nothing changes until it changes. So, yes, until now, you can apply for the permit.

Is it common practice, or easy, that boats on S registration change over to MFC?

If you intend to do any fishing from your boat, or use your boat for recreational fishing, I would advise that you register under the MFC registry. Eventually, all 'S' and Valletta registered vessels engaging in recreational fishing will have to be registered as MFC.

Dawn mhux ghejdut, dawn fatti. Kull opra tal-bahar li bhalissa hija registrata 'S' u din l-opra qeda ukoll tintuza ghas sajd rekrejativ, trid tigi registrata MFC. Allura, li qed jaghmel id-dipartiment, huwa li qed jipprepara kollox ghal din il-qalba fir-registration. Mit-tahdidiet li jien kelli mad-Direttur Generali, jidher (nerga nirrepeti il-kelma jidher) li mhux ser jintalab hlas zejjed jew extra. Kull opra li taqleb ir-registration ghal MFC, izzom dak ir-registration biss. B'hekk, taqa ir-registration 'S' u tibqa tghodd biss ir-registration MFC.

Good morning Mr Mamo,

Please refer to your query.

Please note that it is not possible to register vessels that were previously registered as 'S' in the MFC Category.

Thank you and Regards,
