| | Bulletin FAL No.183, November 2001 - MARITIME CABOTAGE SERVICES: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Checks by the agencies responsible for safety and immigration, the agricultural service, and the police, among others, should be more flexible in the case of cabotage, and possibly also in the case of trade with countries that form part of the same economic bloc. |
 | | Cabotage is open to all shipping companies of Member States, with the main restrictions concerning vessels of under 650 Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT) and shipping connecting islands in Spain and Greece (Regulation No. 3577/92). |
 | | Stated differently, instead of having, for example, four or five independent services -three cabotage and one or two international- that do not compete with one another, it would be cheaper to maintain a smaller number of services which at the same time provide the user with a larger number of options. |
