HAIL TRIP START. Prior to leaving port on a sector trip for which catch will count against sector annual catch entitlements (ACE), each sector vessel must hail trip start, meaning notify the SM and DSM vendor that the vessel is departing on a sector trip. The trip start hail must include vessel permit number, the trip ID# (which is the VTR number on the first VTR used for that trip or an EVTR trip ID#), and estimated trip duration. The DSM vendor must immediately send a confirmation to the vessel that the trip start hail was received; if the vessel does not receive confirmation within 10 minutes, the captain must contact the vendor to confirm the trip start hail via an independent backup system that must be set up by the DSM vendor. As an alternative to the ten minute requirement, sector vessels would not start a trip until receipt of the trip‐start hail confirmation from either the service provider directly or from an independent backup system developed by the service provider.
