TUFMAN2 errors
Delays in trip validation/verification
TDW-12: th April 2018, Noumea, New Caledonia

2. Current situation
Invalid Trips

3. Current situation
Invalid trips

4. Validation delays Consequences / problems
Trips not accounted for in estimations
Data sharing on hold
Not used under Dorado reporting until validated.
Means that it is not used in the estimation of your catch
Means that your data covergae is lower than what it could be, therefore your Annual Catch Estimates will be less precise.
Data sharing
Not only the trip can’t be shared with other countries since not yet valid
But Other countries can’t even enter it on their side since it would be duplicate

5. Proposal SPC proposed action: fix errors
Only trips invalid for at least 2 month
Fix errors and validate trips (if possible)
Trips not marked by countries as currently dealt with (in trip comments)

6. Proposal SPC proposed fix
­ Missing days added with an activity code corresponding to “searching” (max 3 days)
­ Duplicate set or catch will be deleted
­ Speed issues will either be validated as is, or corrected (approximation)
­ Catch weight will be set to average for weight error messages

7. Proposal SPC proposed fix (continued)
­ Catch numbers will be left as is for numbers exceeding maximum
­ “No captain” info will be added if missing and if no way to know captain’s name
­ Missing departure and return ports/dates will be determined and updated

8. SPC Needs Trip scan No way for SPC to liaise with Fishing companies­
Logsheet
Importance of attaching logsheet scan in T2

9. Trip Verification T2 automated process
Concerns a valid trip entered by one country and verified by at least another country
will automatically be auto-verified by T2 for any subsequent country, considering that one verification of the trip is enough after entry has been made.
To get shared to another country, a valid trip needs to be verified by this country. If not verified, not shared
Trips entered, validated and verified by another country sometimes remain unverified by other countries.
However since it has been verified once, there might not be any need to verify it again by subsequent countries

10. Thank You
Any questions / comments?
We need to understand the reasons why trips sometimes remain:
Invalid
Unverified
Can the SPC action plan help you ?
