Abstract

The Directorate of navigation shall issue rules regarding compulsory measurement of Norwegian vessels, and the establishment of size and tonnage. Measurement of vessels acquires importance for fisheries insofar as various fisheries regulations specify rights or duties dependent upon the size or tonnage of the vessel. Construction of new vessels or acquisition abroad of existing ones shall be communicated to the Directorate. An owner of a vessel under duty of measurement may always request such measurement.
