The fishing boats, mostly with a length less than 50m, are usually equipped with main power of below 294kw. Meanwhile, the fishing boats are equipped with neither AIS nor VHF to communicate with merchant vessels. Therefore, it is difficult for the merchant vessels to find, identify or communicate with the fishing boat, especially during night time or when the weather is bad. 3. The crewmembers of the fishing boats are not familiar with the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972. Due to lack of navigational knowledge and training, the crewmembers of the fishing boats are not familiar with the navigational devices. As such, they tend to violate the navigation rules and regulations when the fishing season starts. 4. When the fishing season starts, nearly all the fishing boats would proceed to one direction to fish by the tide, some of which may keep fishing throughout the day. Because most of the fishing boats would gather together and turn off the engine and light during night time, they could hardly be found by nearby merchant vessels, thus collision incident would happen or the merchant vessels would be entangled with fishing nets. The period of high-occurrence collision incident in China Apart from the fog season in March and April, the period between August and October is another high-occurrence season of collision incident with fishing boats. Viewing the above, ships are suggested to pay more attention in the subsequent days immediately after the fishing season starts.
Fishing boats are proceeding to the fishing farms after fishing ban ends Statistics show that totally 268 collision incidents with fishing boats occurred between the year 2006 and 2011, causing 562 human deaths and 90% of the fishing boats to sink.

Recommendations and precautions 1. Designated fishing zones as well as the waters where collision incident happens frequently should be taken into account when designing the route, including the surrounding environment, temperature and tide, as well as the period of fishing ban. Fishing nets or fishing boats should also be carefully noted throughout coastal navigation. In waters where traffic separation scheme is applied, ships should follow such scheme strictly; in water where no such scheme is in place, ships should navigate within the main channel as much as possible.
2. If ships enter into fishing areas, they should ensure full compliance with relevant provisions of COLREGS 1972 and SMS. 3. Officers or watchman should be familiar with operation characteristics of fishing boats, such as trawlers. Crewmembers should also keep proper lookout and make the radar activated in time. Furthermore, ships should sail at safe speed, be well prepared and maintain low speed while approaching the fishery areas. 4. Ships should make full usage of radar and sound fog-signal even though no fishing boat is found on radar during navigation in fog. 5. It should also be taken into consideration that as a local custom, the fishing boats of coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces prefer to cut in ship’s bow. 6. Normally, after the fishing ban ends, thousands of fishing boats will sail to the fishing area in the same direction. In this situation, collision avoidance plans should be made in advance. Considering that the fishing boat fleets are mostly unwilling to let the merchant vessels sail among them, ships are recommended to avoid sailing across the fishing boat fleets to prevent collision. 7. Merchant vessels should stop engine immediately once breaking into or crossing fishing net in order to avoid the fishing net to fall afoul of propeller. 8. Merchant vessels should also take active measures to avoid collision with power-driven fishing boats, even when they are not engaged in fishing operation. 9. When fishing boats use international code of Signals, the meanings of one-letter flags are as follows: a. The letter “G” means “I am casting nets”. b. The letter “Z” means “I am drawing nets”. c. The letter “P” means “My nets have hung on an obstruction tightly”. d. The letter “T” means “Keep clear of me, I’m engaged in pair trawling”. Or
sound one prolonged blast instead of using one-letter flag.
