Additional Application Requirement

Before MARINA evaluates or accepts any application for chartering or importing fishing vessels, an additional document is required.
Applicants must submit a clearance from BFAR.
The BFAR clearance certifies that the vessel, owner, or charterer qualifies for the issuance of a new Commercial Fishing Boat license (CFBL).

Relationship to Existing Regulations

MARINA Memorandum Circular No. 34 and 34-A remain effective as long as they are not inconsistent with this Circular.
This ensures continuity and coherence with existing related regulations.

Effectivity

The Circular became effective fifteen (15) days after its first publication in a newspaper of general circulation.

Authority

The Circular was adopted and signed by Paciencia M. Balbon, Jr., Administrator of MARINA on July 20, 1994.
