Shipping (Fishing Vessels Safety Codes of Practice) (Jersey) Regulations 2015 (R&O.42/2015).

These Regulations, made under the Shipping (Jersey) Law 2002, provide with respect to safety of small (up to 24 metres of overall length) fishing vessels registered in Jersey, wherever the vessel may be. They also concern relative inspections and certificates of compliances issued in respect of such vessels. Vessels shall comply with specified Codes, depending upon their overall length. If a fishing vessel to which Regulation 1 applies is taken out to sea, or an attempt is made to take it out to sea, when it does not comply with the Code the master and each owner of the vessel shall be guilty of an offence. For the purpose of enforcement of these Regulations a surveyor or inspector appointed by the Minister shall have the power to inspect or detain a fishing vessel and have all the powers of an inspector under the Shipping Law (Jersey) 2002.
