WARNING WARNING WARNING
We have just had a phone call from the MCA relating to the compulsory wearing of a PFD or Life Jacket on a fishing vessel. This is something that we have been heavily promoting during our Seafish training courses as has been the below warning that it would happen.
The MCA are now actively using UAVs to fly over and photograph fishing vessels at sea. The photographs taken are extremely high quality and legally admissible in court. If the photograph taken shows that there is no obvious us of PFDs or Life Jackets (or other man over board prevention in place) being worn by crew on deck, enforcement notices ARE NOW being sent out from the Head of Enforcement in MCA Southampton. You will be asked to prove (with evidence) what acceptable PFD or Life Jacket was being worn (or other man over board prevention in place) by the crew in the photograph. This may also involve a physical inspection of the vessel and equipment if required by the MCA. If it cannot be proven that acceptable PFDs or Life Jackets were being worn, enforcement action will follow.
Enforcement letters have already started being sent out in Wales.
PLEASE NOTE, belt worn, inflatable or otherwise buoyant devices are NOT accepted as adequate.
There is now a ZERO tolerance with regard to fishing vessel safety by the MCA including PFD/Life Jacket wearing, training etc.
Don't get caught out by this. The MCA requires that, unless measures are in place which eliminate the risk of fishermen falling overboard, all fishermen must be provided with and must wear PFDs or safety harnesses. The measures preventing Man Overboard
must be documented in a written risk assessment.
Further information in MGN 588(F) - COMPULSORY PROVISION AND WEARING OF PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES ON FISHING
VESSELS.
PLEASE SHARE THIS POST so we can get the message out to all our fishing community to save lives and protect from enforcement action. ... See MoreSee Less

07720268810 - this is the new number for training enquiries. Please use this number as Ian will direct you to it if you contact him with any training questions. Sorry for any inconvenience, I'm just trying to share some of the workload and get to know you all. I know some of you also have my other number but that is my personal phone and I do not work everyday. However, I do promise to return any missed calls and messages within 24 hours where possible.

Is there anymore dates for the skippers courses yet
I’ll get the Seafish website updated for you, do you want this to be the only number listed?
2021... keep your eyes peeled π over the next week or 2 there will be a new phone number and email address being posted for TRAINING enquiries only. You can still contact Ian but he will point you in my direction (sorry guys, I'm not quite as talkative as him π€£). Although I only work part time, I will pick up emails and calls on a regular basis. This will also help me get to know the voices, and sometimes faces, behind the names. Thanks all, Bethan. ...

Have a great end to a sheeeeeeeite year π
Happy New Year both, let’s get training π
And this is why we talk about this sort of thing during the Basic Health and Safety and especially on Safety Awareness courses. Like the skipper and crew on this fishing vessel, you cant predict the accident but you can be prepared to deal with the accident. Sounds like in this case as totally unexpected and unpredictable the event, the response was excellent and definately saved lives. Well done to all onboard. ... See MoreSee Less

As we rapidly approach Christmas day we want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hopefully a better New Year. We also want to thank you again for your continuous support this past year. With a bit of luck we will not be restricted for too long and training will commence (again) in the near future. Take care and stay safe.
