Installation and Fit Out Costs

These costs will not be capped as a percentage of the items being installed but will be reviewed against industry norms to ensure they provide value for money.

Vessels Purchased from a Third Country

It is a condition of the Scheme that a vessel must be on the Irish Fleet Register in order to qualify for grant aid. Where vessels have recently been acquired from outside the EU – for example Scotland – expenditure will be eligible for grant aid on the condition that the vessel is on the Irish Fleet Register at the date of the submission of the claim.
