Appointment booking for trawler vessel owners affected by trawl ban to apply for ex-gratia allowance

     The Government has set up an inter-departmental working group (IWG) to handle all matters relating to applications received under the trawl ban one-off assistance package. These include ex-gratia allowance for trawler vessel owners and one-off grant to local deckhands.

     Affected trawler vessel owners should obtain a booking confirmation letter either in person or by proxy at Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, 8/F, Cheung Sha Wan, Government Offices, 303 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon; or Aberdeen Fisheries Office, 2/F, 100A Shek Pai Wan Road, Aberdeen, Hong Kong.

     From December 7, 2011 to February 29, 2012, the IWG will handle the registration for trawler vessel owners who have obtained a booking confirmation letter and the local deckhands they employed in the application of ex-gratia allowance and one-off grant to local deckhands. Applicants must visit the designated venues at their chosen date and time slot as stated in their booking confirmation letters.
