The Competitive European Location Ireland has attracted over 1,200 international companies in the past 10 15 years. This section gives information on the Irish economy, the costs of doing business in Ireland and labour and employment information. The Irish Mercantile Marine Acts are currently under review in order that the newly modernised register reflects the advances made in other economic sectors by Ireland. Already, significant progress has been made: the redrafting of the Ship Registration legislation and the Registration Process is being undertaken and all efforts are made to provide the Irish Shipping Industry with a tonnage tax scheme. Ireland is amongst the most attractive and efficient locations in Europe to register a vessel, and the services are in place for those who require the total " one stop" package. Our current fleet has an enviable reputation for efficient service and the highest standards of safety. Our intention is to maintain this reputation by employing stringent registration procedures but making the register significantly more user friendly. The IMDO will assist any company in its queries and will continue to guide companies through the registration process. If you have any queries regarding the modernisation of our register and the competitive advantages of registering in Ireland please Short Sea Shipping in Ireland Shortsea shipping is an environmentally friendly transport mode which contributes to the sustainability of transport, strengthens the cohesion of the community and contributes to an increased efficiency of the Community's transport system. In February 2000, the European council emphasised as a priority objective the development of short sea shipping into a dynamic part and a viable option in the intermodal door to door transport chain between all regions of the community. As an Island, Shipping and the movement of goods by sea is vitally important to the Irish Economy. In fact 95% of Ireland s trade is carried by sea. Most goods are shipped by containers and Irish trades depend heavily on short sea shipping. As a small nation, the bulk of the exports and imports are trans-shipped through larger European Ports. Currently, over 90% of Ireland s registered Merchant fleet is engaged in European Short Sea Shipping Activity.
