The Inspection message
If during the fishing trip at sea, an inspection from the MMO is done, an inspection message must be sent. Creating and sending this message is quite similar when compared to creating a “Fishing Activity Report” this due to the fact that it is required to send a “FAR” message when boarded for inspection. When creating your “FAR” message check the box “Inspection” like demonstrated in the picture below.
When you save this message you will be transferred to the “Inspection” tab.
In which the following fields must be filled in.
|
Country:
|
The country that is handling the inspection.
|
|
Inspection date and time:
|
The time and date of the inspection.
|
|
Inspector number:
|
The Id number of the inspector handling the inspection.
|
|
Longitude and latitude:
|
The place of inspection. The longitude and latitude can be filled in manually, but also by clicking on the GPS button.
|
By clicking on “save” you can get to the communications screen and you will see that there is an “I” behind the FAR message to indicate there has been an inspection. If you tick the box “History” on the left bottom of the “Trip Information” screen you will see the “I” behind the fishing trips that had inspections. Now, a daily 24 hour messages will be sent with the inspection message attached to it. When the inspection is early in the morning, and you still want to send a daily catch report (close to 12 at night), this becomes a correction message.
