16. MARITIME SUBSECTOR SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
Companies applying for a fishing right or quota must be aware of the following:
In the application form, section 6 measuring transformation includes five of seventeen criteria directly related to SETA relationship that could improve or reduce the applicants overall score;
The scoring requires companies to comply with Skills Development legislation including the submission of an ATR/WSP to the SETA the company is registered with;
Fishing companies are also scored on whether or not they implement learnerships (formally registered with a SETA)
Often small companies write the levy off as a tax, fishing companies cannot afford to do so if they wish to continue fishing;
Fishing companies are advised to contact the maritime chamber / )
This short term view needs to be changed as the long term benefits of participation will assist in the awarding of fishing rights/quotas whose value far exceeds the direct financial relationship with the SETA.
