NEW TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE HAIL OUT REQUIREMENT 

Moncton and Quebec – March 20, 2023 

Fisheries and Oceans Canada announces today that commencing in 2023 fishing season, fish harvesters from both Gulf and Quebec Regions will be required to dial a new telephone number when hailing out is required as a licence condition. 

The new telephone number 1-833-699-2013 (toll free) or 1-506-431-3223 (satellite phone only) will need to be used for new hails, modified hails, and cancelled hails. This will direct fish harvesters to a call centre, and replace the Vessel Hail Out System (Interactive Voice Recognition System - IVR) until further notice.
