Fleet Segment DCR

The fleet segment is defined by the gear code and the vessel length category

FISHING_TECHNIQUE =

gear codes - see codes below

VESSEL_LENGTH = vessel length class - see codes below. It defines the minimum and maximum vessel length of fleet segment.
 

The segmentation to level 2 is defined in Appendix III of the Commission Regulation 1639/2001, to level 3 in Appendix VIII and to level 4 in Appendix X.

 

 

VESSEL_LENGTH
 
VL0012 = vessels less than 12 metres in length
VL1224 = vessels between 12 metres and 24 metres in length
VL2440 = vessels between 24 metres and 40 metres in length
VL40XX = vessels greater than 40 metres in length
