Regulations for the Issuance of Building Permit and Fishing License of Fishing Vessel Article 15-2
For any fishery operator that builds a tuna purse seine vessel for operation in the western and central Pacific Ocean, sizes of fishing vessels are classified as the following levels:(1) Level 1: length overall of 80 meters or above, with the gross tonnage of 2,000 or above.(2) Level 2: length overall of 50 meters or above but less than 80 meters, with the gross tonnage of 700 or above but less than 2,000.(3) Level 3: length overall less than 50 meters, with the gross tonnage of 200or above but less than 700.(4) Level 4: length overall less than 50 meters, with the gross tonnage less than 200.Any fishery operator that builds a fishing vessel classified in the preceding paragraph shall obtain the replacement qualification of a tuna purse seine vessel of the same level, except for the circumstances stipulated in paragraph 5. In case that the replacement tonnage is less than the fishing vessel tonnage of the newly-built fishing vessel, the provisions on complementing the replacement tonnage and reserving the surplus replacement tonnage as stipulated in Article 14, paragraph 1 to 3 and paragraph 8, as well as Article 15, paragraph 2, shall not apply.Any tuna purse seine vessel of any size level shall be replaced for building into one single vessel, and shall not be divided for replacing and building of several fishing vessels. Tuna purse seine vessels of a smaller size level shall not be combined together for the replacing and building of a tuna purse seine vessel of a larger size level.The replacement tonnage of any tuna purse seine vessel built pursuant to paragraph 1 shall be the same as that of the fishing vessel to be replaced, and the overall fish hold capacity after the completion of building shall not exceed that of the fishing vessel to be replaced.In case that a new purse seine vessel of 2,000 gross tonnage or above is built with the replacement qualification of a vessel from level 2, replacement qualification from at least one tuna longline fishing vessel which has obtained a distant water fisheries permit shall be acquired to complement two times of the shortfall that exceeds 2,000 gross tonnage.For the newly-built fishing vessel as referred to in the preceding paragraph to be replaced, it shall have the same size and level of replacement qualification as those of the replacement qualification it obtained originally.
中文原文 漁船建造許可及漁業證照核發準則第15-2條
漁業人建造鰹鮪圍網漁船於中西太平洋海域作業者，其漁船規模分下列級別：
一、第一級：總長度八十公尺以上且總噸位二千以上。
二、第二級：總長度五十公尺以上未滿八十公尺且總噸位七百以上未滿二千。
三、第三級：總長度未滿五十公尺且總噸位二百以上未滿七百。
四、第四級：總長度未滿五十公尺且總噸位未滿二百。
漁業人建造前項所定各級別漁船時，除第五項規定外，應取得一艘同級別鰹鮪圍網漁船之汰建資格；其汰舊噸數小於新建漁船噸數時，不適用第十四條第一項至第三項、第八項及第十五條第二項有關補足及保留賸餘汰舊噸數之規定。
各級別鰹鮪圍網漁船應單獨汰建為一艘，不得分割為數艘。
較小級別之鰹鮪圍網漁船，不得合併汰建為較大級別之鰹鮪圍網漁船。
依第一項規定建造之鰹鮪圍網漁船，其汰舊噸數為原汰換漁船之汰舊噸數，建造後魚艙總容積不得高於原汰換漁船之魚艙總容積。
以第二級鰹鮪圍網漁船汰建資格建造新船後總噸位二千以上者，應以一艘以上曾取得遠洋漁業作業許可之鮪延繩釣漁船汰建資格，補足總噸位超過二千部分差額之二倍汰舊噸數。
前項建造完成之漁船於日後汰建時，汰建資格之規模級別與原取得之汰建資格相同。
一、第一級：總長度八十公尺以上且總噸位二千以上。
二、第二級：總長度五十公尺以上未滿八十公尺且總噸位七百以上未滿二千。
三、第三級：總長度未滿五十公尺且總噸位二百以上未滿七百。
四、第四級：總長度未滿五十公尺且總噸位未滿二百。
