I'll try to very quickly touch on two points, the statistics and the issue of similar vessels.
On the statistics, in fact, if you simply look at absolute numbers, the fatalities on fishing vessels have been reduced over the past 20 years. But of course, when you look at the number of vessels operating, you also see the same decrease because there are fewer vessels operating. What has not changed, however, over those 20 years is that 50% of the commercial fatalities are from fishing vessels and the rate of fatalities has not changed. That is a consideration.
Those are the overall statistics.
In fact, on the aspect of stability, there is a concern with the cost of getting that information to the master. Ultimately, stability is giving information to the master and the crew that the vessel can operate with a particular load under certain conditions.
I think one of the things that we have to think about on cost is amortization. A stability booklet may require $3,000 to $6,000 for a particular vessel. As you said, fishermen indeed have similar vessels. If they are in the same fishery and have the same type of loading conditions, they could get together to have a series of booklets done. That could be done. With the demand, we're hoping that market forces will also reduce the price.
These days the most difficult thing about having a stability booklet is what the plans for the vessel are. Some of these vessels don't have plans. With the new technology for laser beams, you can actually get the form of the vessel very quickly, and perhaps that will also bring the costs down.
