This consultation outlined a number of "priority fisheries", the first of which being pelagic vessels over 24m in length. The consultation also proposed a multi-stage approach, starting with a voluntary early adopter phase. Following the consultation, Defra, alongside Cefas and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) entered into discussions with a vessel for participation in the early adopter phase. During these discussions, it was agreed that a REM system will be installed on the vessel by a qualified marine engineer. Requirement: Installation of REM equipment onboard the pelagic fishing vessel Frank Bonefaas, 119m in length, according to an installation plan which is available in the Bidder Pack.
