This resolution establishes a comprehensive record of vessels authorized to fish within the Antigua Convention Area for species under the IATTC mandate. The Director is tasked with creating and maintaining this record, which will include only vessels flying the flags of CPCs (Members and Cooperating Non-Members) based on detailed vessel information provided by each CPC. The required data encompass vessel identification, ownership, technical specifications, fishing methods, authorization details, and International Maritime Organization (IMO) or Lloyd’s numbers. CPCs must promptly notify the Director of any updates, additions, or deletions to the vessel record and report annually on vessels that were actively fishing in the Convention Area. The resolution further mandates regular reviews by the Commission to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the vessel register and to update data requirements as needed.
