Aid will be given for the stoppage time of the fleet which routinely operates in the fishing grounds of Guinea Bissau.
The halt of fishing came as a recommendation by the European Commission as it could not guarantee the safety of ships, due to the political situation in the country.
Aid was granted for a period of three months from 16 June to 15 September 2012 inclusive, and may be available for a further six months as the situation continues.
The total amount allocated for the funding of these grants is raised to a higher amount of €1,700,000.
A total of 11 vessels and eight trawlers were affected.
