Vessels registered with authorities and using tracking technology
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Reports the registration status of fishing vessels with relevant authorities and their use of tracking technology, with counts and proportions based on the stated vessel population; small vessels below 15 metres are addressed through logbooks or equivalent systems.

Disclosure form
No single formulaReport the source-defined result with its stated fields and method disclosures. F.A22.0 is an additional-sector, value-chain metric with an explicit reportable output: counts and proportions of vessels registered with named authorities and using tracking technologies. Its distinct denominators, vessel-size treatment and registration/tracking fields require a structured metric rather than a generic vessel count or a monitoring-cost metric. No shortlist item represents the same construct, boundary and value shape.

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Method disclosures required
Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).
- State whether the denominator is total vessels operated or total vessels from which the organisation sources.
- Describe the registration authorities included and the basis used to determine registration status.
- Describe the tracking technologies treated as qualifying.
- Identify treatment of vessels below 15 metres and whether logbooks or equivalent systems are used.
- State whether reported counts and proportions cover own operations, sourcing, or both.
Record-specific limitations
- The extracted specification does not define qualifying tracking technologies.
- The applicable denominator differs between an organisation's vessels and vessels from which it sources.
- Disclosure of vessel names, flag States and IMO numbers is encouraged where possible and may be unavailable for some vessels.
- For vessels below 15 metres, logbooks or equivalent systems are specified as the relevant monitoring evidence rather than a universal tracking-technology requirement.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
