Información / Information about Professional Boats
Merchant vessels or professional ships are part of the fleet of companies that, under the national flag, engage in the transportation of goods and passengers, facilitating imports and exports with other countries around the world. This category also includes vessels dedicated to professional fishing, both at the commercial and artisanal levels.
The difference between a professional vessel and a recreational one lies in the fact that, in the former, the crew holds qualifications from the Merchant Marine and the vessels are equipped with a minimum set of equipment in accordance with the SOLAS, MARPOL Conventions, and other international, supranational, or national regulations derived from them.
