The Marine Survey Office of the Department of Transport carries out the measurement of tonnage for all vessels, including fishing vessels, which fly the Irish flag. However, it has no role with respect to the regulation and monitoring of gross tonnage and registered kilowatts in the fishing industry. This is a function of the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
