Icelandic trawlermen’s compensation

Compensation under the Icelandic Trawlermen’s Compensation Scheme will be extended to an additional 21 vessels. Trade & Industry minister Nigel Griffiths said: “The department will now re-examine the claims from trawlermen who worked on these boats and pay additional compensation to those who qualify for it. This will happen automatically - there is no need for claimants to re-apply.”
