Common use of Activity Reports Clause in Contracts

Activity Reports. The operator of each FFV must report the FFV’s move- ments and activities before or upon the event, as specified in this paragraph (c). Appropriate forms, instructions, codes, and examples are contained in the conditions and restrictions of the FFV’s permit. Each FFV report must contain the following information: The message identifier ‘‘VESREP’’ to indi- cate it is a vessel activity report, FFV name, international radio call sign IRCS, date (month and day based on GMT), time (hour and minute GMT), position (latitude and longitude to the nearest degree and minute) where re- quired, area (by fishing area code) where required, the appropriate action code, confirmation codes where re- quired, and the other information spec- ified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(11) of this section. (1) ‘‘BEGIN’’. Each operator must specify the date, time, position, and area the FFV will actually ‘‘BEGIN’’ fishing in the EEZ and the species (by species code), product (by product code), and quantity of all fish and fish products (by product weight to the nearest hundredth of a metric ton) on board when entering the EEZ (action code ‘‘BEGIN’’). The message must be delivered at least 24 hours before the vessel begins to fish. (2) ‘‘DEPART’’. Each operator must specify the date, time, position, and area the FFV will ‘‘DEPART’’ the EEZ to embark or debark an observer, to visit a U.S. port, to conduct a joint venture in internal waters, or to other- wise temporarily leave an authorized fishing area, but not depart the sea- ▇▇▇▇ limit of the EEZ (action code ‘‘DEPART’’). The message must be transmitted before the FFV departs the present fishing area and delivered within 24 hours of its transmittal. (3) ‘‘RETURN’’. Each operator must specify the date, time, position, and area the FFV will ‘‘RETURN’’ to the EEZ following a temporary departure, and the species (by species code), prod- uct (by product code), and quantity of all fish and fish products (by product weight to the nearest hundredth of a metric ton) on board that were re- ceived in a joint venture in internal waters (action code ‘‘RETURN’’).

The message must be transmitted before leaving the origi- nal area and delivered within 24 hours of its transmittal. If a foreign vessel operates within 20 nautical miles (37.04 km) of a fishing area boundary, its op- erator may submit in one message the shift reports for all fishing area shifts occurring during 1 fishing day (0001– 2400 GMT). This message must be transmitted prior to the last shift ex- pected to be made in the day and deliv- ered within 24 hours of its transmittal. (5) ‘‘JV OPS’’. Each operator must specify the date, time, position, and area at which the FFV will ‘‘START’’ joint venture operations (action code ‘‘START JV OPS’’) or ‘‘END’’ joint venture operations (action code ‘‘END JV OPS’’). These reports must be made in addition to other activity reports made under this section. Each message must be transmitted before the event and delivered within 24 hours of its transmittal.
