Small-scale fishing vessel owners in Italy can receive partial reimbursement for mandatory safety equipment upgrades like life rafts and EPIRBs.
This scheme provides a partial reimbursement to help cover the costs of mandatory safety upgrades for small fishing boats.
Who it's for
This rebate is specifically designed for owners of small-scale fishing vessels.
What you get
You can receive a partial reimbursement to help pay for required safety equipment. This includes costs for mandatory upgrades such as life rafts and EPIRBs (emergency position indicating radio beacons).
What it costs you
While the scheme provides financial support, you will need to provide detailed invoices and formal proof that the equipment has been installed on your vessel.

- Purchase the required equipment and have it installed.
- Collect all detailed invoices and installation certificates.
- Submit your documentation to the relevant authorities to claim your reimbursement.
