Aberdeen, Anstruther and Eyemouth port vessel lists: FOI release

FOI reference: FOI/18/00097
Date received: 12 January 2018
Date responded: 16 January 2018

Information requested

Vessel lists for a number of ports in the Aberdeen, Anstruther and Eyemouth districts. Following our telephone conversation on 16 January 2018 you also asked for the same covering the Peterhead and Fraserburgh districts.

Response

The answer to your question is:

District	Number of licensed fishing vessels
Aberdeen	92
Anstruther	103
Eyemouth	106
Fraserburgh	208
Peterhead	105

We discussed on the telephone whether or not lists of vessels could be provided below district level and instead down to creek level, as indicated in Marine Scotland Compliance's "Districts and Creeks" map.

I have been advised that this is indeed possible, rather than just relying on officers local knowledge as I had first thought. Please advise me if you wish this further detail to be provided and a fresh FOI request can be considered.
