02 MARITIME

Administer and develop programmes

Two distinct subsets: flag programmes and maritime registries; national deep-sea and local fishing programmes.

Role of FML

FML develops the administrative organisation, the oversight of operators and agents, the monitoring of obligations and the coordination with authorities.

Separation of roles

Administering a flag, fishing rights and industrial value creation are three distinct activities. Public responsibilities rest with the competent authorities and are kept separate from commercial interests.
