Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Fishing vessels less than 15 metres in length are at present excluded from the scope of Directive 2009/18/EC, therefore the conduct of maritime accident investigations involving such fishing vessels is non-systematic and non- harmonised. Such vessels are more prone to capsizing and members of the crew falling overboard is relatively common. Therefore, there is a need to protect those fishing vessels, their crew and the environment as well as gathering data to be able to better prevent future accidents by introducing a preliminary assessment of very serious marine casualties involving fishing vessels less than 15 metres loength to determine whether the authorities should open a safety investigation as well as collecting data on the type of fisheries involved in accidents leading to very serious marine casualties.
