Title of dataset | Harbour Limits |
Narrative summary of dataset | Harbour limits describe the legal limits within which companies may be formed with respect to geographical location of a harbour. That is, a company the harbour of which is situate in the pilotage district of a pilotage authority shall organise and ensure the provision of pilotage services in that pilotage district. Pilotage can be interpreted as the regulations governing the use of a harbour or any docks. The Government of Ireland ratified into law the Harbours Act in 1996, which contains explicit guidance on the stipulations of each harbour in the Republic of Ireland. |
Summary of processing methodology | For each port listed in the National Ports Policy (https://assets.gov.ie/11557/277d22d364fe4c13be390493282c0557.PDF), legislation was sought out describing both the harbour and pilotage district limits of each port. Harbour and pilotage district limits were digitized with reference to the legislation as described in the Harbours Act (1996), and subsequent amendments. Once digitized, all ports were contacted for additional input and validation. |
