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 |
