10 Suspension and disqualification

(1) A master who has, at any one time, accumulated at least 18 points but fewer than 90 points in the register is suspended from mastering a relevant fishing boat. (2) The duration of the suspension is— (a) 2 months, on the accumulation of 18 to 35 points inclusive; (b) 4 months, on the accumulation of 36 to 53 points inclusive; (c) 8 months, on the accumulation of 54 to 71 points inclusive; (d) 12 months, on the accumulation of 72 to 89 points inclusive. (3) A master who has, at any one time, accumulated 90 points or more is disqualified from mastering a relevant fishing boat. (4) A suspension or disqualification under this regulation starts— (a) on the start date set out in the register; or (b) if later, in a case where the master is mastering a relevant fishing boat engaged in fishing when a suspension or disqualification is triggered, on the day following the day on which the master returns to port. (5) It is an offence for a master to master a relevant fishing boat— (a) while suspended from doing so; or (b) if disqualified from doing so. (5A) If a master is already suspended from mastering a vessel when the master accumulates points triggering a further suspension period under this regulation, the further suspension period starts on the expiry of the existing suspension period. (6) In this regulation, “a relevant fishing boat” is a UK fishing boat which is not a Scottish fishing boat.
