INDUSTRIAL FISHING VESSELS DATA FOR SAFETY LEVEL APPROACH

This data contains information related to the safety regime for industrial fishing vessels starting from the regulatory framework and its development at International level and at EU level. After consultation with stakeholders, it shows how the value of the EU-15 and EU-28 industrial fishing vessels dataset in the period 2000 to 2017 was established and the cost of safety measures calculated for each ship and the whole fleet. Following EU dataset net benefits were assigned to the ship based on the fishing technique and fishing gear in each of the main fishing regions. It was also explored how insurance costs could be used correlate with the benefits of the fishing vessel fleet. With a separate EU dataset with industrial fishing vessel accidents, risks per length ranges were calculated and compared with one of the most important EU countries. This would later help in the assessment of societal risk. Finally an assessment of risk reduction was made that would make the cost of implementation of measures effective.
