Fishing Decommissioning Scheme

29/08/2003

The Executive has announced an extension to 30 September 2003 of the deadline by which applicants to the fishing vessel decommissioning scheme can claim an advance payment of decommissioning grant. They can claim 50% if they surrender their fishing licence(s) and cease fishing.

The balance of grant is payable on the decommissioning of the vessel.

If applicants do not go on to decommission their vessel this advance will be recovered with interest.
