The order, posted on the official legal information website, will enter into force from March 31.
The amendments aim to support businesses and to simplify refrigerated fish deliveries. They will lift multiple restrictions for fishing companies. For example, the crews of vessels with RSW tanks containing refrigerated seawater for preserving catches will now be able to fish in two sectors and more during one trip. Earlier, these vessels were not allowed to leave preset areas.
Moreover, it will be possible to work in accordance with permits, issued by several companies, during one trip.
