MBS=Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea.
OFR=Other fishing regions.

In cases where a vessel operates in more than one supra region as defined in Table 5C, Member States shall explain in their national programme to which supra region the vessel is allocated.

FDI data call:

Each vessel must be assigned to the supra-region where most of its activity takes place. It is therefore possible to combine supra-region code with sub-region codes of a different supra-region. Inactive vessels should be assigned to the supra-region where they are registered or generally operate in.
