So I have a nice mini saga going on right now.. I did contact fisheries, he told me the limitations on the MFC, but on the "S", that is drafted by Transport Malta, so they have to answer.. I asked him what is going on with the MFC and the S, he had no idea, and no idea what is gonna happen in the future! Abyss...
refer to the below:
Dear Mr. Borg
Kindly note that S registered boats do fall under the remit of Transport Malta but regarding fishing regulations you have to contact the Fisheries.

Dear Ms.Said,
I was under the impression that 'S" registered boats fell under Transport Malta?

Subject: S registered boats
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am in the process of buying a new boat, and I have some queries in regards to the registration. I am planing to use to boat for light fishing and leisure (12 feet boat). I would like to know what are the fishing limitations on the "S" registered boats. I am confused between the mfc registration and the "S" registration. Can I fish with the "S" registration or I have to register under the "MFC"? I tried asking other boat owners and on local forums, but it seems confusions reigns on this subject. I would be great to have one clear answer from Transport Malta on this Matter.
Can a boat with an "S" register fish?
If yes, what are the limitations of fishing gear, spots and range?
I thank you for your time, and I am really hoping for a reply!
Kind Regards,
Mark Borg
