All coastal fishing licences shall expire when coastal fishing is suspended on Wednesday 12 July 2023. A vessel holding a coastal fishing licence may therefore proceed to fishing tomorrow on the condition that it had a fishing licence before it received the coastal fishing licence.

A coastal fishing licence does not include a general fishing licence, so if vessel was in the zero category before it was granted a coastal fishing licence, a general fishing licence must be applied for before going fishing.

It is possible to view whether a vessel has a fishing permit on the Fisheries Office website under search of ships, but the coastal fishing licence might still appear few days after the licence has been annulled.
