This decree creates a direct cash-flow subsidy for maritime fishing businesses facing higher operating costs because energy prices have risen in the context of the Middle East conflict. The aid will be calculated using the applicant’s fuel purchases between 1 April and 31 May 2026. Detailed eligibility rules, application procedures, budget limits, certification requirements, and payment conditions will be set later by ministerial orders, with the ASP handling applications and payments across mainland France, Corsica, and overseas territories.
