Summary Record
Wednesday 4 July
Opening
The workshop, which was held in Barbados from 4 – 13 July 2001 was attended by
participants from the Fisheries Divisions and or Units in Antigua, Barbados, British
Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the
Grenadines. In addition Mr. Peter Murray represented the OECS. A full list of
participants is given in Annex I.
At the opening session, which was held in the Conference Centre of the Caribbee Beach
Hotel, Mr. Leon Knight, Principle Ag. Samuel Jackman Prescod Poytechnic (SJPP)
acting as Master of Ceremonies, introduced Mr. Patrick Bethell, Chairman of the Board
of Directors of SJPP who welcomed the participants. The FAO representative and OECS
addressed the workshop which was formally opened by Mr. Randolph Hinkson,
Permanent Secretary, of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Perspectives
Maritime Search and Rescue
The sessions immediately following the opening were designed to provide a broad view
of the implication of developing standards for the construction and inspection of small
fishing vessels. Sub. Lt. Ag. F. Cordle gave an overview of the regional system for
maritime search and rescue (MARSAR) explaining how Barbados and the island States
were an integral part of the system. It was underlined, however, that fishers were often
negligent when it came to communicating their position with reasonable accuracy and
how poor communications could jeopardize a SAR intervention.
Regional and National Perspectives
This was followed by a presentation by Mr. Peter Murray, OECS who gave an
overview from the perspective of regional cooperation. Mr. Stephen Willoughby, Chief
Fisheries Officer Ag. followed with an overview of the fishery from Barbados and
underlined his governments commitment to the project.
The Project
Mr. Jeremy Turner, Senior Fisheries Office, Fishery Industries Division (FAO HQ)
presented the objectives of the project and its work plan thus setting the scene for the
technical sessions.
Barbados National Union of Fisheries Organizations (BARNUFO)
The workshop was addressed by Ms Angela Watson, President of BARNUFO in
relation to the effect of implementing standards of construction and inspection as seen
from the viewpoint of the membership of the organization. Mr. Anderson Kitch
(owner/skipper), Mr. Kirk Baynes (skipper) and Mr, Clifton Iffil, members of the
organization- also made contributions.

2
Examples were given of fishing vessels that were allowed to go to sea even although it is
obvious to any bystander that they are defective. Since the vessels in question actually
have a valid safety certificate, she called for ad hoc inspections to be carried out. Other
apparent deficiencies were noted such as the denial of access to the stern glad due to the
position of the icebox in some vessels and a certain inconsistency in the fitting and
operation of bilge alarms.
With regard to fishing vessel operations, it was considered that the safety equipment
should be reviewed especially for the vessels operating at long distances from shore. For
example:
 Life rafts should be carried.
 Flares ejected from a pistol should be required1
 Navigational aids such as GPS should be included
 EPIRBS should be required
 Spares should be included for alternators and starting motors.
It was also considered that the Coast Guard should be strengthened and that
communications could be improved with the fishing community.
It was further considered that acceptable standards of construction and inspection would
be appropriate but in order to give time for the fishing industry to adapt, there should be a
phasing in process between adoption and implementation of the new standards.
Thursday 5 July
Insurance and Institutional Financing
The workshop was also addressed by Ms. E. Branch, Barbados Insurance Corporation
(ICB) and by Mr. Emerson Basombe, Rural Development Commission.
Ms.Branch explained from the outset that marine insurance is complicated and not
readily understood. She also explained that whereas the xxx does offer insurance cover to
owners of fishing vessels the majority only insure their vessels if they are the subject of a
loan. As soon as the loan is repaid, the owner terminates the insurance policy. Most
owners claim that the premiums are too high yet these are less than 4%, which is
reasonable by any standard. Another complaint is that the there is no rebate when the
vessel is laid up at the end of the fishing season. Ms. Branch pointed out that ICB did in
fact operate a rebate scheme provided that the vessel was properly stored ashore. It was
also explained that vessels could be insured while under construction, particularly in
relation to fire risks. Furthermore, the premium payments can be made in installments.
In relation to standards of construction and inspection, Ms. Branch mentioned that since
ICB did not have its own marine surveyors difficulties were experienced in obtaining
credible surveys on which they could make appropriate evaluation. This contributes to
the apparent lack of trust between the assured and the insurer. If, however, standards
were to be adopted and implemented it would certainly lead to greater transparency. Ms.
1
FAO note: The argument centred on a vessel setting a flare at a height that could be seen from a long way
off and that hand held flares could then be used for the rescuer to home in,

3
Branch concluded by commenting on the need for dialog with fishing vessel owners and
builders to make them more aware of the advantages of insurance.
Mr.Emerson Bascombe confirmed the link between lending and insurance should be
more firmly established. Lending to fishers is not straightforward and demand for loans
is surprisingly low considering the preferential rates offered by the commission (as low
as 4%). He highlighted some of the obstacles to be overcome in lending to the fish
harvesting sector commencing with the fact that it is generally the case that the only
collateral offered is the fishing vessel. In this regard the main issues are that the actual
state and value of the vessel are difficult to determine with certainty since the
Commission does not retain appropriately qualified persons on its staff. He also stressed
that the fisher is, in general, not commercially minded and does not run the vessel as a
business. Consequently: repayments are only made during a fishing season, as there are
rarely savings to cover the rest of the year. Furthermore, repair and refit work is
unplanned (or deliberately under budgeted) thus a request for a small loan is soon
followed by a request for further funds to complete the work. The Commission is placed
in an impossible position in that the second loan has to be made to protect the interest of
the Commission in the first loan and so on.
Mr. Bascombe believes that better standards would help but only if enforced through
better procedures for inspection. He is hopeful that they would also give greater
confidence to insurers to grant cover.
Fishing Industry
Mr. William Ince, Ocean Fisheries Limited, presented a perspective from the point of
view of an investor in the fishing industry. In particular, he referred to high level of
responsibility to the end user for safety in the development of a new product. The
example given was the development of a facility for the production of fiberglass fishing
vessels. Apart from the initial financial investment, which was considerable, the
selection of a suitable design had a high priority. In this regard he stressed the
importance of inputs from professional designers and how in his case he had entered into
a contract with a company in the USA. The next priority was to ensure that the
production methods were correct and that quality control was established.
Mr. Ince recognized the importance of suitable standards for the design and construction
of small fishing vessels and how important it was in the case of series production to adopt
quality standards from the outset. He cautioned against cost cutting practices that could
compromise safety at sea.
Fishing Vessel Inspection
Mr. Eustace Holder, Senior Fisheries Assistant, Fisheries Division, related the
experience of the fisheries inspectors in Barbados. He highlighted the need for an
organized structure for fishing vessels inspection with adequately trained and qualified
personnel. The need was also stressed for recognition of the validity of inspection reports
including the recommendation therein as well as enforement in the evnt of a negative
recommendation. He recognized that until the ideal situation could be achieved, interim
measures should be in place.

4
Institutional Requirements
Mr. Leon Knight, Principle Ag. SJPP introduced the subject of institutional training of
boat builders and inspectors, documents:
TCP/RLA/0069/10 - INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS – AN OVERVIEW
OF TRAINING
TCP/RLA/0069/PP-13 - INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS – AN
OVERVIEW OF TRAINING
He stressed the need for a common approach to training and, to the extent possible, at a
centralized facility. SJPP accepted that a thorough review of the requirements for
training must be undertaken by the Project for naval architects, boat builders, inspectors
as well as fishers. This would lead to curriculum development bearing in mind the need
for the accreditation of boat builders and inspectors. He acknowledged that naval
architecture would probably have to be taken separately as would be the case for fishers.
Mr. Knight reiterated the commitment of SJPP to the success of the project and its
interest in the follow up to the project, which would require an evaluation of links with
other institutions and organizations to capitalize on training resources.
Friday 6 July
Technical Sessions
Country Experience
The participants from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and
Nevis, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as the observer for the
British Virgin Islands, gave a short résumé of the system of fishing vessel inspection in
their respective countries. In general, the need for safety equipment and a certificate of
inspection is a requirement for the license of a fishing vessel. Officers of fisheries
administrations carry out inspections of safety equipment. However, but in relation to the
inspection of the hull and machinery, it is less clear where the main responsibility lies
(with the possible exception of Barbados. Indeed in most cases the various fisheries
administrations do not have staff members who are accredited surveyors of ships.
Consequently there is a general need for co-operation with the Coast Guard or Maritime
service (or both).
In some cases there may also be a split responsibility in relation to sport fishing vessels
with in most cases the fisheries administration controlling the “fishing license” and the
maritime authorities being responsible for registration (and safety equipment/vessel
inspection). In addition, the Coast Guard may also have been given the role of an
inspection unit.
Barbados explained that it did have in place an effective system of vessel inspection by
the Fisheries Division, the authority being vested in the Chief Fisheries Officer to
prescribe standards in respect of seaworthiness, safety equipment and sanitary or other
condition for vessels of that category or class. The Fisheries Act also provides for
interventions by an officer of the Coast Guard.

Antigua and Barbuda plus Grenada and St, Kitts and Nevis. Joint inspections of
safety equipment and vessel carried out by fisheries and Coast Guard.
St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Vessel inspection reports by
Fisheries.
Dominica main responsibility lies with Coast Guard.
Saturday 7 July
Lifting Lines
Following a technical briefing on how to lift lines from the hull of an existing vessel and
the reasons for doing so, the participants were given the opportunity to gain “hands on”
on experience.
The fishing vessel “Pettit” LO 45 was lifted ashore at the shallow draft facility and placed
in position with a slight list to Port and lying slightly by the head in order to demonstrate
how to compensate for declivity. The vessel was measured and the lines lifted in
accordance with the guidance given in the document:
TCP/RLA/0069/07 - Lifting Lines.
During the weekend, the Project Staff translated the measurements taken by the
participants into a table of offsets and a lines plan and the data entered into the
AUTOHYDRO Module of the Project’s AUTOSHIP computer programme.2
Monday 9 July
Introduction to Stability
The results of the exercise to lift lines were demonstrated to the participants followed by
an introduction to stability in accordance with the details of the power point presentation
contained in the Power Point Presentation:
TCP/RLA/0069/PP–01 - Stability
Thereafter, the discussion reverted to the results of the lines lifting exercise and the
“Pettit” was subjected to various loading conditions by changing the data entries in the
programme to demonstrate changes that would take place in relation to stability criteria. 3
2
Important note by FAO.
Whereas the programme has been installed at SJPP, it will only prove to be a valuable teaching and
resource tool if it is used and demonstrated by a qualified Naval Architect with experience in the use of
design software. It must not be used by unqualified persons to determine whether or not a fishing vessel
complies with stability criteria set out in the Regulations to a Fisheries Act and or to the stability criteria
established by the International Maritime Organization since any misunderstanding of the results of
calculations made through the programme could jeopardize the safety of life and property at sea.
3
The software was loaded at SJPP but will not become operational until such time as SJPP have technical
expertise on line in Naval Architecture.

6
The morning session ended with an explanation of how to carry out an inclining
experiment followed by measuring the rolling period on the basis of document:
TCP/RLA/0069/08 - Inclining Experiment and Rolling Period of a Fishing
Vessel.
Design and Construction
The main theme for the session was the construction of a wooden hulled fishing vessel.
The reference Documents being:
TCP/RLA/0069/WP-02 - Wooden Fishing Vessel Construction Practice
In addition, the participants were given the opportunity to view a vessel under
construction (at the Fisheries Complex) in order to identify and relate to the terminology
used in boat building as set out in d:
TCP/RLA/0069/PP04 – Wooden Fishing Vessel Construction Practices
The Session continued into the following morning with a presentation on the construction
of a steel vessel and the pros and cons of the three main building materials, wood,
fiberglass and steel. Thereafter, the requirements concerning machinery installations
were introduced.
Tuesday 10 July
Fishing Vessel Inspection
This session reviewed the legal obligations of a flag State in relation to underlying
international legal instruments that had an impact on fisheries management and
requirement for the design, construction and equipment of a fishing vessel. The
relationship between the inspector of a fishing vessel and those charged with undertaking
surveys on behalf of, owners, insurance underwriters and lending institutions was also
discussed in order to establish the responsibilities and role of the “inspector”. The
following documents formed the basis for the discussions:
TCP/RLA/0069/WP-01 - Procedures for the Inspection of a Fishing Vessel
TCP/RLA/0069/WP-03 - Measurement of Small Fishing Vessels
TCP/RLA/0069/02 – Insurance

Fibreglass repair
The participants were introduced to the technique used in the repair of a damaged
fibreglass panel and the demonstration followed the method described in document
TCP/RLA/0069/04 - Simple GRP Repairs
The participants were also given the opportunity to gain “hands on” experience towards
the end of the session.
Inclining Experiment and Rolling Period
Prior to the end of the afternoon session, the participants were briefed on the inclining
experiment and how to obtain the rolling period following the guidance given in
documents:
TCP/RLA/0069/08 – Inclining Experiment and Rolling Period of a Fishing
Vessel
TCP/RLA/0069/PP-11 – Inclining Experiment and Rolling Test
Wednesday 11 July
Inclining Experiment and Rolling Period
The inclining experiment and the test to determine the rolling period took place on the
fishing vessel “Pettit”. This was the same vessel from which the lines had been lifted
which was ideal for the overall demonstration on stability and for the calculation of the
factor “f” in relation to the rolling period since the vessel had been inclined and the
rolling period established with the vessel in the same condition of loading.
While the data from the experiment were being entered into the AUTOHYDRO module
of the computer programme, the participants had the opportunity to revisit the fibreglass
repair exercise to forcibly undo the repair made the day before.
Thereafter, the results of the inclining experiment were demonstrated to the participants
and these were discussed .in relation to the various loading conditions and the
requirements set out by IMO on fishing vessel stability.

Taken together with documents TCP/RLA/0060/PP-09 and 10a carry over to next morning as well as
Thursday 12 July.

Thursday 12 July
Inspection of a Fishing Vessel
The session began with a briefing on the inspection of fishing vessels.
The participants were organized in three groups for a “hands on” exercise in the
inspection of a fishing vessel under the following conditions:
 Vessel under construction
 Vessel ashore under repair
 Vessel afloat.
Each team had the advantage of being led by an experienced “surveyor”. Following the
practical work, each group presented an oral report on their findings and they were
invited to give their candid opinion of the inspection.
During the discussion session that followed, further consideration was given to the
interaction between an “inspector”, the builder, owner and others appointed to survey the
vessel(s) for other purposes.
This particular exercise had the full backing of the owners/builder of the vessel so
inspected.
Friday 13 July 2001
Standards, formats and implications
Scantlings
Scantling tables have yet to be developed for the various vessel types. 5
These are likely
to be on the basis of the minimum acceptable standards commensurate with good boat
building practices taking into consideration the wide variety of vessel types in the region
and their areas of operation. Acceptable alternatives to current building procedures,
particularly in wooden boat construction, would also be included in the scantling tables.
Inspection Services
In formulating inspection services, due consideration should be given to the long-term
fisheries plan and fleet development. However, although the actual proposals for one
island State may differ from that of another, there should be a common approach to
ensure that the authority responsible for the inspection of small fishing vessels can make
decisions based on the best available technical advice from properly qualified and
experienced persons. In some cases, there would be a need for options for
implementation in the short term as well as on long-term basis. Consideration to be given
the need for manpower development programmes for inspectors.
5
Scantling tables offer minimum standards of measurement for the various components in a vessel, they
do not constitute a complete set of rules for the design and construction of a small fishing vessel.

9
Selection of new entrants (Inspectors of Fishing Vessels)
The numbers of entrants should be linked to the manpower development strategy for each
country and taking into consideration the responsibilities of the individual fisheries
administration and how the inspection service is to be managed. The selection process
should be based on required levels of education and or experience commensurate with the
job description of the post to be filled.
Training
Inspectors
A common approach to training should be adopted` for each grade within the inspection
service. In this regard the use of an appropriate regional facility should be considered.
The courses offered should be designed for upgrading of existing staff academically as
well upgrading of inspection techniques.
For new entrants holding the minimum acceptable academic qualifications for entry,
provision should be made for such entrants to obtain credits in the required subjects that
would be required for accreditation as an “Inspector of a Small Fishing Vessel”. Thus an
entrant with the required qualifications in vessel construction may have to obtain credits
in marine engineering and or electrical subjects and or in naval architecture (with a bias
towards stability). Others, with different basic entry qualifications might have to obtain
credits in hull construction and brush up on naval architecture. All would have to obtain
credits in vessel measurement and the allocation of a scantling numeral or equipment
number as the case may be. In addition, all participants in would have to obtain credits
in, for example, interpretation on the Fisheries Act, the Maritime Transport Act and
related regulations.
Other Disciplines
There should also be parallel training opportunities for naval architects, marine engineers,
boat builders and fishers.
Boat building courses could well follow the City and Guilds format.
Certification
At the highest level, the certificate for a Senior Inspector of Fishing Vessels should be
comparable with the qualifications required for an accredited hull and machinery
surveyor (surveyor of ships) in the region.
There may also be divisions, incorporating examination for a lower level certificate but
structured in such a manner that following appropriate service as a junior or assistant
inspector of small fishing vessels, the certificate holder could attend the higher-level
course.
Examinations for naval architects would have to be at a level commensurate with
international practice.
Certification of boat builders should be linked to a recognized international or regional
standard. If the City and Guilds of London were to be selected as a standard the
minimum level for accreditation of a boat builder would most likely be the “Final” level

10
for a “master boat builder” A lower level, may be considered to be appropriate for those
working under the supervision of a “master boat builder”.
Authority
The authority in relation to the inspection of fishing vessels currently vested in the Chief
Fisheries Office is not necessarily related to the capability of the fisheries administration
to carry out the actual inspections but more to the ability to manage the inspection
process. Should the situation change or be threatened, the responsible ministries should
ensure that the requirements are not downgraded in any way and that systems so enforced
do not have an adverse effect on fisheries management measures.
Implications
The participants recognized that the standards should be formulated in a readily
understandable manner. Furthermore, taking into consideration the level of preparedness
in individual countries of the region, there should be a clear indication of the time frame
for the implementation of any new Regulations. In this regard, there would also be a
need for advanced publicity to alert all stakeholders of the intention to introduce
acceptable standards of construction and inspection of small fishing vessels and to
explain how these would also apply to imported vessels, both new and second hand.
Closing of the workshop
Ms. Joyce Leslie, Deputy Chief Fisheries. Officer, Fisheries Division, Barbados referred
to the achievements of the workshop as a whole. She noted that the experience had been
beneficial to the staff at the Fisheries Division and hoped that this had been the case for
the participants from the other islands. It was also noted, that although fine tuning would
be required from island to island, the aims of the project were realistic in relation to
stands for construction and inspection of small fishing vessels. In addition to improving
safety at sea the implementation of standards could also enhance the effectiveness of
fisheries management in Barbados and in the region. She urged the organizers of the
national workshops, still to be held, to draw on the positive aspects of this current
workshop and stressed the need for an understanding of the linkages between fisheries
divisions or units and other parties, such as the Coast Guard and Maritime Authorities.
Ms. Joyce Leslie thanked all present for their participation in the workshop and for those
who would go forward to the national workshops, she wished them every success.
The workshop was closed at 13.00 hours.
