Fishing Ports and Port Registration
Letters
|
Commercial fishing boats are regulated by Government agencies. To ensure clear and separate identification of boats that may have similar names, each fishing boat must display Port Registration Letters. The style of these letters varies depending on the Country that issues them, but they usually take the form of a letter code that identifies the port or administrative area, and a number that identifies the individual boat. Some Countries reissue the same number when it becomes free after the loss or scrapping of a vessel, while others issue unique numbers to each new boat that is registered. The general principles are similar to those in various Countries for motor vehicle number plates. This list contains Port Registration Letters mainly for European countries, and includes registration letters that are no longer in current use, but may be of historic interest in identifying old photographs. Some ports exist only as an administrative area and may issue registration letters although there is no local fishing fleet. For example, the port of Banff in Scotland is so small that no seagoing commercial ship could enter it, but the registration letters BF, which, like all British registration letters, are issued by a centralised national office, are used by many of the big trawlers working from the harbours of North East Scotland. |

Aberdeen |
Scotland |
Important fishing port,
but the main maritime business is offshore oil support. Excellent photo views
for boats entering and leaving the harbour, but poor vantage points for
quayside photos. Most of the Scottish East Coast fishing boats are further
north at Peterhead and Fraserburgh. (July 2003) |

Pittenweem and St. Monans. The Scottish Fisheries Museum at Anstruther is
worth a visit (2002) |

This is the port for the
City of Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, but there are no fishing boats
here - they are all in the harbours of Musselburgh, Cockenzie, Port Seaton,
North Berwick and Dunbar along the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, and
the North Sea harbours of St. Abbs and Eyemouth (2002) |

Shetland Islands Scotland |
The main harbours are in
Lerwick and nearby Scalloway, but there are many small harbours and moorings
all round the islands. You need a car to get around. There are excellent and
frequent inter island ferry services. Allow for flexible planning if visiting
- gale force winds are common and weather conditions can stop air and ferry
services at short notice. (1994) |

There is no harbour -
boats lie at anchor in the estuary, and this can make photography difficult.
The estuary is used by many pleasure craft, but there are only a few small
fishing boats. Access to the shore by car is difficult during the summer
tourist season - the streets are very narrow and congested and there is
limited parking. (May 2000) |

Lots of small boats in
out of the way harbours and on beaches. Best to hire a car to get round the island
to see them all. Some boats use the letters TF. It is not known if this is
officially sanctioned or simply local practice. (7/1986) |

There are a few small
fishing boats here, and photo opportunities are reasonable, although some
boats moor in the estuary. (May 2000) |

The home of a small
fishing fleet and the ferry terminal for the Western Islands, surrounded by spectacular
scenery. Photography can be a little difficult as most views of the boats are
looking into the sun. It is worth going further north to see the modern
harbours at Lochinver and Kinlochbervie. (2001) |

Large harbour, but only a
small number of boats based here. Boats attempting the narrow harbour
entrance in rough weather can frighten the spectators as much as the crew. To see more fishing boats
go about 50Km north to Scrabster (Thurso) - this is the ferry terminal for
Orkney and a busy fishing port. (2003) |

Important fishing harbour
with varied types of boats. Also a holiday resort - like its neighbour Scarborough,
the town centre and harbour area can be congested in the summer (August 1998) |
