Add a Mobile GPR

Page last updated: 13th March 2023.

Use the guide below to find out how to add a mobile GPR.

A mobile GPR is used for fishing without a vessel OR on more than one vessel, and it is registered to your client number rather than a specific vessel.

If you intend to use the GPR on one vessel only (i.e. fixed), you must register it to that vessel instead. Refer to the Add a Fixed GPR guide for more information.

To convert an existing fixed GPR to a mobile GPR, contact us on 04 460 9555 instead. 

You must have a Supplier Declaration form to do this, and the supplier of your GPR should have provided you one. You must contact them for a copy of the form if they have not provided one.

Please refer to the relevant guides for information about the Vessel Summary Screen, applying for, amending renewing, or cancelling a vessel registration OR cancelling a mobile GPR:
