Supertrawlers in Outer Moray Firth

The request was successful.

Gordon C Stalker

Dear Marine Scotland,
I note that five supertrawlers have been fishing in the Outer Moray Firth in Scottish waters.
Wiron 5 and 6, Frank Bonefaas registered at Hull, UK
Afrika and Carolien registered at Scheveningen, Netherlands.
1) As the catch of the above trawlers is not landed or processed at a UK port, how does Marine Scotland police their catch in terms of size and species?
2) How many fishery protection vessels are operated by Marine Scotland?
3) Why does your trawler Alba na Mara not carry clearly identifiable port of registration letters? This is a legal requirement for all fishing vessels in UK waters.

Yours faithfully,

Gordon C Stalker

Dear Marine Scotland,
Many thanks for your reply.
Another enormous Dutch owned supertrawler Willem Van Der Zwan SCH302 has joined the others listed in my original enquiry. This does not change the nature of my enquiry, but adds to the number of vessels involved to six.

Yours faithfully,

Gordon C Stalker
