The roll-out plan focuses on a series of scheduled port visits running up to 30 November 2023. Installations will be delivered in three phases at English home ports with the largest number of registered vessels, prioritising the over 6 metre fleet.

Funding support

In line with assurances given to fishers, up to 1,050 European Maritime & Fisheries Fund (EMFF) grant funding is available to support fishers secure a suitable I-VMS device.

EMFF grants are available until 30 November 2023. More information about grant funding is below.

Fishers that are subject to existing legislation requiring the operation of an I-VMS device, either under IFCA or Welsh Government legislation, should take action immediately and notify the supplier that you are affected by I-VMS measures when arranging your installation.

Approved Devices

The following tracking devices have passed the MMO I-VMS type approval process, by meeting the I-VMS device specification of requirements. All products have undergone evaluation under the I-VMS approval process and are expected to last for at least five years provided they are handled appropriately. All of these products have been designed in order to be suitable for vessels with or without on-board power.
