Recital 7
(7) Fishing vessels less than 15 metres in length are at present excluded from the scope of Directive 2009/18/EC, therefore the conduct of maritime accident investigations involving such fishing vessels is non-systematic and non- harmonised. Such vessels are more prone to capsizing and members of the crewaccidents and fishers falling overboard is relatively common. Therefore, there is a need to protect fishers, as well as those fishing vessels, their crew and the environment by introducing a preliminary assessment of very serious marine casualties involving fishing vessels less than 15 metres long to determine whether the authorities should open a safety investigation.
