  7. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels – Education and Certificates • IMA issues all Certificates of Competency to Seafarers. Iceland has ratified the STCW-F Convention, as Norway, Denmark, Latvia and Spain • IMA is responsible for controlling that education in maritime colleges meets the requirements of International Conventions • Masters and Mates • < 12 meters within EEZ (course) • < 24 meters within EEZ (2 semesters) • < 45 meters within EEZ (4 semesters) • Unlimited (7 semesters) • Marine Engineers: • < 750 kW and <12 meters (course) • < 750 kW (2 semesters) • < 1,500 kW (6 semesters) • < 3,000 kW (9 semesters) • Unlimited (10 semesters) College of Navigation and Marine Engineering - Reykjavík

  8. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels – Manning Manning levels of fishing vessels provided for In law. It is possible to apply for deviations from the law to the Manning Committee, consisting of members from stakeholders and a referee. Number of Skipper and Mates: • < 12 metres; • Skipper, who may be the same as the engine attendant if he is the only certified person in the crew and holds a Certificate of Competency to serve in these capacities. • 12 -24 metres; • Skipper and mate. It is permitted to sail without a mate after having achieved a permit from the Manning Committee and if the time at sea is less than 14 hours. • 24 - 45 metres; • Skipper and mate • > 45 metres; • Skipper, chief mate and deck officer Rough Seas in Icelandic Waters (video)

  9. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels – Manning Number of Chief Engineers and Marine Engineers: • 250 - 750 kW and vessels <12 m.; • Marine engineer on small ships, who may be the same as the skipper if he is the only certified person in the crew and holds a Certificate of Competency to serve in these capacities. • 250 - 750 kW; • Chief engineer and engine attendant. It is permitted to sail without an engine attendant after having achieved a permit from the Manning Committee and if the time at sea is less than 14 hours. • 750 - 1800 kW; • Chief engineer officer and Second engineer officer • < 1.800 kW; • Chief engineer officer, Second engineer officer and engineer

  10. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels Legal registration of seamen Before every fishing vessel leaves port, the skipper must register into a central computer database the names of the crew members and their positions on board. The database is accessible to official control authorities (e.g. Coast Guard, IMA) The reasons for the strict registration policy: • Who is on board? • Is the Certificate of Seaworthiness valid? Has the Tonnage Certificate been issued? • Are the Certificates of Competency of the skipper and other crew members valid and authentic? • Is the ship fully manned according to law? • Are all insurances valid and authentic? • Have the crew members attended all mandatory safety courses? • Records on seagoing service in connection to issuing of Certificate of Competency. • Basis for Seamen‘s Tax Reduction.

  11. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels Implementation of EU Acts - EEA • Since 1994, Iceland has implemented a large number of EU Acts, as part of the EEA Agreement, which affect fishing vessels in the following fields: • the safety and health of seafarers (89/391/EC) • the organization of working time (93/104/EC) • vessel traffic monitoring and information system (2002/59/EC) • safety of fishing vessels >24m (97/70/EC) • European Maritime Safety Agency (1406/2002/EC) • Iceland signed the ILO Work in the Fishing Convention in Geneva in 2007 (WFC) and work is in progress to implement that Convention

  12. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels – long-term safety programme Fatal accidents: Work at sea (red) – Work ashore (grey) • IMA administrates the implementation of the programme in co-operation with a management board, consisting of representatives of the Ministry and interested parties • The main programme topics are: • Education and training • A safety-management system (SMS) is being prepared for fishing vessels involving a manual where special emphasis will be placed on the human element in the working environment of fishing vessels. • Development of educational material and guidelines. Manuals, brochures and video tapes/DVDs on safety matters are prepared on a regular basis.

  13. Fleet registry – The Ship Register Act No. 115/1985 • The IMA maintains a Ship Register. All ships 6 metres in length or more must be registered.

Fleet registry – deviations from EU rulesIssue that requires specific attention in the negotiations Scoping mission to Iceland: Vessels below 6 meters must be registered Information on the power of auxiliary engines must be collected for all vessels Information on fishing gear must be collected

  15. ICELANDIC FISHING VESSELS1st of January each year

  16. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationMain tasks concerning fishing vessels Ship Measurement Act No. 146/2002 on Tonnage Measurements of Ships IMA is responsible for tonnage measurements Review and approval of calculations Issue of tonnage certificates International Convention on Tonnage Measurement applies to ships >15 metres Icelandic regulation apply to ships of <15 metres

  17. Ship measurement • Tonnage (GT) is calculated according to: • Ships >15 metres: London Convention (LC) • Ships 15-24 metres, built before 1997: GT = GT(LC)x(0.92 + 0.08(L-15)/9) • Ship<15 metres: Icelandic Rules: • BT = Ls2 x Bs x 0.031, where Ls = register length and Bs = register breadth • Iceland will have to re-calculate most fishing vessels below 24 metres, especially vessels below 15 metres

  18. Icelandic Maritime AdministrationShip Marking - Regulation on Ships’ Marking, No. 493/1986 All ships shall be marked with a name on both sides of the bow. Additionally, fishing vessels shall be marked with district lettersand numbers on both sides of the bow. All ships over 30 GRT shall be marked with a name and home port on the transom stern of the ship, or on both sides of the stern. Decked ships and other ships and boats up to 15 m in overall length, shall be marked with the ship registration number at a convenient location on both sides.
