The Agreement on Port State Measures(PSMA) is the first binding international agreement to specifically target illegal, unreported and unregulated(IUU) fishing. Its objective is to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing by preventing vessels engaged in IUU fishing from using ports and landing their catches. In this way, the PSMA reduces the incentive of such vessels to continue to operate while it also blocks fishery products derived from IUU fishing from reaching national and international markets. 4, record 3, English, - Agreement%20on%20Port%20State%20Measures%20to%20Prevent%2C%20Deter%20and%20Eliminate%20Illegal%2C%20Unreported%20and%20Unregulated%20Fishing

L'Accord relatif aux mesures du ressort de l'État du port est le premier accord international contraignant à cibler spécifiquement la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (INN). Son objectif est de prévenir, contrecarrer et éliminer la pêche INN en empêchant les navires engagés dans la pêche INN d'utiliser les ports et de débarquer leurs captures. De cette façon, le PSMA réduit l'incitation de ces navires à continuer à opérer et empêche également les produits de la pêche provenant de la pêche INN d'atteindre les marchés nationaux et internationaux. 2, record 3, French, - Accord%20relatif%20aux%20mesures%20du%20ressort%20de%20l%27%C3%89tat%20du%20port%20visant%20%C3%A0%20pr%C3%A9venir%2C%20contrecarrer%20et%20%C3%A9liminer%20la%20p%C3%AAche%20illicite%2C%20non%20d%C3%A9clar%C3%A9e%20et%20non%20r%C3%A9glement%C3%A9e

Floating drilling rigs are normally referred to as "drill vessels" or "drilling vessels" and are in the truest sense of the word "vessels." For a seafaring man, however, they differ in many respects from his general conception of a vessel. [As opposed to the traditional vessel,] the drill vessel often anchors for weeks and even months at one location. It may move only short distances from well to well. Seldom, if ever, does it need to visit port except for major repair or inspection. ... Many drill vessels, semi-submersibles for instance, cannot even be handled in present dry-dock facilities because of their size. 6, record 6, English, - floating%20drilling%20vessel
