Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

You need to serve documents to the holder of an international fishing permit. This is done if you deliver the document to a representative person for the vessel. The representative person is specified under section 103(2)(c) or section 105(2)(c). You can also serve the document by sending it to the representative person by post. The address to use is the one they notified to the chief executive. You can also leave the document at this address for the representative person.
