(b) notify the first boat's flag State national fisheries authority about the transhipment at least 24 hours before the transhipment occurs; and
(c) include with the notification the following information:
(i) the name and number of the first boat as recorded in the CCSBT Record of Carrier Vessels;
(ii) the name and number of the second boat as recorded in the CCSBT Record of Carrier Vessels;
(iia) if issued--the IMO/Lloyd's registration number of the second boat;
(iii) the amount by tonnage of Southern Bluefin Tuna that was transhipped;
(iv) the day on which and the place at which the transhipment occurred;
(v) the geographic location at which the Southern Bluefin Tuna was caught;
(vi) the type of vessel used in the transhipment including the length of the vessel, the gross tonnage of the vessel and the vessel's carrying capacity; and
(d) notify the first boat's flag State national fisheries authority and, if applicable, the competent authority of the coastal State where the transhipment occurs , in the approved form and no later than 15 days after the transhipment occurs, that the transhipment has occurred.
Boat to which transhipment occurs
4.2 The person using the second boat to receive a transhipment of Southern Bluefin Tuna from the first boat must not allow the second boat to receive the transhipment unless the person using the first boat provides evidence that the first boat:
(a) is participating in the CCSBT program to monitor transhipment at sea; and
(b) has been authorised by the first boat's flag State national fisheries authority to tranship at sea.
4.3 The person using the second boat must:
