Purse Seine Unloading Logbook

INSTRUCTIONS
An UNLOADING and TRANSSHIPMENT LOGSHEET FORM (UL) must be filled out at the completion
of any unloading or transshipment of fish from the vessel. For vessels unloading to more than one
cannery and/or transshipment vessel, a separate form must be filled out for each cannery and/or
transshipment vessel.
When completing the UL, the vessel Master/Captain should take the following steps:
1. All dates on the UL shall be LOCAL DATE, not UTC/GMT. ARRIVAL is the date the vessel
arrived in port for unloading. DEPARTURE is the date vessel departs port for the next fishing
trip. START is the date the vessel starts unloading to the processor or transshipment vessel.
END is the date the vessel completes unloading to the processor or transshipment vessel.
Ensure that all the specified information is entered on the UL and that the information is true,
complete, and correct.
2. Sign the form and obtain the signature of the receiving agent – that is, the person representing
the cannery or vessel receiving the fish.
3. For deliveries to the canneries and transshipments in Pago Pago, NMFS representatives will
endeavor to pick up the UL from the cannery and/or vessel at the completion of unloading.
However, if a NMFS representative does not pick up the UL, or for deliveries and
transshipments in ports other than Pago Pago, the white original and yellow copy of the UL
shall be mailed or sent to the addresses below. Retain the green, signed duplicate copy for
your records. Please use the correct address for the type of delivery service utilized.

For every UL, it is required that a Final Outturn Report (FOT) be completed and submitted to NMFS.
It should be filled out in English and include: the name of the vessel; the name of the company/vessel
to which the catch was received/transshipped; the signature of the receiver, the weight unloaded by
size and species; the unit of measurement (e.g. short tons, metric tons, kilograms, pounds); and the
name of the processing company to which the fish were delivered/consigned. There is no specific
time requirement for submitting the FOT, but the original should be submitted within a reasonable time
period after the fish were received at their final destination. If the fish are delivered to and processed
at the canneries in Pago Pago, a NMFS representative will endeavor to pick up the reports from the
cannery. If the FOT is not picked up by a NMFS representative, or if the vessel unloads or transships
at a port other than Pago Pago, the FOT should be e-mailed or mailed to the NMFS American Samoa
Field Office as indicated above.
