FV Agi is an active fishing vessel that mainly target economically valuable fish species. With the implementation of this project, Poli Fish EOOD intends eliminate a less efficient vessel that generates high operating costs for fuel and maintenance. In addition, the company wishes to scrap FV Agi because the gear used, possess low selectivity and will contribute to reducing unwanted catches which lead to additional costs of unloading, storage and handling and subsequent treatment for Poli Fish EOOD. The elimination of FV Agi will allow to Poli Fish EOOD to start business in the sphere of trade with fish and fish products, due to the fact that each year Black Sea catches are decreasing, and for their catch are necessary higher and higher operational costs. All of the above mentioned reasons led to the decision of the company to apply for the scrapping of a FV Agi fishing vessel under Measure 1.3 "Permanent cessation of fishing activities". According to the requirements of the measure, Poli Fish EOOD will not register a new fishing vessel for 5 years after the date of receiving the grant.
