Port tariff

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a port tariff (Engl. Harbor tariff) the sum of the fees and prices for the main services of a port, such as cargo handling, storage and other services referred to. The tariffs are set for a defined port area of ​​the respective ports.

In most ports , the individual partial services are shown in individual tariffs, such as harbor fees (for the use of berths and water areas), quay tariffs or quay fees (for using the port facilities for handling purposes), stevedoring tariffs and the like, depending on the diversity of the companies in the port. In many ports, on the other hand, almost all of the services provided by port operations, such as land and ship-side handling services, storage capacities used, auxiliary and ancillary services for cargo and on the ship, are summarized in a sea handling tariff , or port tariff . The port tariff almost always includes fees that the ship has to pay for using the waterway to the seaport and the port waters, the quay and the mooring of the ship at the quay. The amount of the fees charged by the ship or the sender or recipient of the goods for the use of the individual services of the ports are based on the type and amount of handling services and the quay fees. These in turn depend on the type and amount of the loaded / unloaded tons of freight. The port, berthing and mooring costs are based on the measurement of the ships. There are adapted tariffs for different types of ship, so cargo ships and passenger ships are charged differently.

In recreational shipping , harbor fees ( English habour dues ) are often referred to as mooring fees. They are usually based on the length of the boat. In addition, there are the fees for the shore connection , water and, if applicable, the local tax .
