Answer
Information on the landings for the 11 non-UK registered vessels over 100 metres in overall length, that have fished in UK waters in the last 5 years, is held by their flag State. We cannot provide the information in relation to the UK’s only registered vessel that is over 100 metres in overall length as this would breach data protection legislation.
