"1. The Commission shall establish and maintain an IOTC Record of fishing vessels larger than 24 metres in length overall (hereinafter referred to as "large scale fishing vessels" or "LSFVs") authorised to fish for tuna and tuna-like species in the IOTC Area. For the purpose of this recommendation, LSFVs not entered into the Record are deemed not to be authorised to fish for, retain on board, tranship or land tuna and tuna-like species."
(IOTC resolution 02/05, adopted in 2002).

In accordance with this resolution, the IOTC has implemented this online application that allows users to search and consult the register of authorised vessels.
The register holds data about the identification, technical characteristics, ownership and authorisations of the vessels, as stipulated in Resolution 02/05:

"2. Each Contracting Party, and Non-Contracting Party co-operating with IOTC (hereinafter referred to as CPCs) shall submit electronically, where possible, to the IOTC Secretary by 1 July 2003, the list of its LSFVs that are authorised to operate in the IOTC Area. This list shall include the following information:
      - Name of vessel(s), register number(s);
      - Previous name(s) (if any);
      - Previous flag(s) (if any);
      - Previous details of deletion from other registries (if any);
      - International radio call sign(s) (if any);
      - Type of vessel(s), length and gross registered tonnage (GRT);
      - Name and address of owner(s) and operator(s);
      - Gear(s) used;
      - Time period(s) authorised for fishing and/or transhipping;
      CPCs shall indicate, when initially submitting their list of vessels according to this paragraph, which vessels are newly added or meant to replace vessels currently on their list submitted to IOTC pursuant to the Resolution 01/02 Relating to Control of Fishing Activities.
      The initial IOTC record shall consist of all the lists submitted under this paragraph.
"
