Harbour Dues Amsterdam

Municipal harbour dues for sea going vessels in the port of Amsterdam for 2011

Calculation of harbour tariff:
One can ascertain the tariff by defining the lowest output of the following two calculations:
A) Tariff A x GT
B) (Tariff B x GT ) + (tariff per tonload x amount of tonnes loaded)

 

All tariffs in Euro (€)

 
  A  B 
  Sea-going vessels, not sailing in scheduled service. Per GT  per GT  Per tonload 
1.  For use of the harbour and the use of services for one month at the most the tariff shown in column A applies, unless, where there is a cargo, using a combined tariff in column B leads to a lower sum, in which case this lower sum is payable       
1.1  General tariff  0,929 0,294 0,472
1.2  Coal or cokes (non petroleum cokes)  (If this constitutes at least half of the weight of the cargo loaded onto or unloaded from the vessel) 0,769 0,243 0,391
1.3 Ores  (If this constitutes at least half of the weight of the cargo loaded onto or unloaded from the vessel) 0,696 0,228 0,351
1.4 Supply vessel  0,617 0,204 0,311
1.5 Containership 0,278 0,177 0,301
1.6 Roll-on/roll-off vessel; palletcarrier  0,390 0,161 0,115
1.7 Oil tanker 1,015 0,330 0,513
1.8 Waddenkrabber  0,465 0,154 0,237
1.9 Lashship 0,697 0,221 0,355
1.10 Cruise ship  0,209    
1.11 Wood chips (if this constitutes 100% of the cargo loaded or unloaded from the vessel) 0,743 0,235 0,378
1.12 Special condition:      
1.12.1  If, upon entry, part of the useful shipping space cannot be used, due to the draught limit of the seaway leading up to it, harbour charges can only be levied on a maximum tonnage of 50.000 GT, with the expection of roll-on/roll-off vessels and cruise ships;       
1.12.2  An oil tanker of which part of the load are oil products, will be charged the oil tanker tariff       
1.12.3 Green Award Discount      
A 6% discount shall be applied to the amount calculated on the basis of the abovementioned stipulations of this group in the case of ships which have a Green Award, as mentioned in article 1 of the General Terms and Conditions of sea harbour, quay, buoy and dolphin dues, for the Port of Amsterdam.
1.12.4 Environmental Ship Index
Seagoing vessels registered on the Environmental Ship Index are eligible for the Port
of Amsterdam’s ESI incentive scheme. The incentive-model is structured in the following
way:
- The ship must have an ESI-score of 20 points and above: below 20 points no incentive
will be applied.
- If the ESI-score is above or equal 31 points, an extra bonus will be applied.
- The height of the incentive is depending on the gross tonnage (GT) of the vessel.
- The calculating formula of the height of the incentive is:
o ESI-score ≥ 20 points: score/100 multiplied by ‘GT-class reward’.
o ESI-score ≥ 31 points: add ¼ of ‘GT-class reward’.
     
  GT-class reward Amount      
  0 - 3000 € 200    
  3001 - 10.000 € 500    
  10.001 - 30.000 € 900    
  30.001 - 50.000  € 1.200    
  50.001 and up  € 1.400    
  The incentive will be given to seagoing vessels under the following conditions:
• The incentive is given only once for each call, where call is defined as one single visit
(time-period between entering and leaving) to the whole Amsterdam North Sea
Canal area; and
• For seagoing tankers allowed to leave this area and return within 48-hours according
to article 7.3 of the General Terms and Conditions & Rates, this is also defined
as one single visit; and
• During this call the vessel must visit a berth within the municipality of Amsterdam;
and
• (One of) the purpose(s) of the visit at the berth(s) situated within the municipality of
Amsterdam must be discharging, loading or for a cruise ship a cruise visit; and
• The ESI-score to obtain the incentive is the ESI-score, published on the public part
of the official ESI-website, valid at the time and date of arrival at the first berth situated
within the municipality of Amsterdam; and
• To apply for an incentive for the specific call, this ESI-score must be mentioned
on the corresponding port dues statement by or on behalf of the ship; failure to
include the ESI-score in the appropriate statement mentioned before will mean no
incentive ; incentives cannot be claimed retrospectively; and
• During the call in the Amsterdam North Sea Canal Area the ship is not banned from
the official ESI-website due to the negative results of an eventual audit; and
• The incentive is maximized to the amount of the port dues invoice in case the incentive
exceeds the port dues; and
• When refering to ‘incentive’ or ‘bonus’, this means a discount on port dues
The most up-to-date and valid Port of Amsterdam ESI-Incentive Scheme can be found
on the website: www.portofamsterdam.nl/schipping and is determined by the management
of Port of Amsterdam. For more information about the ESI, you can reach the
website at www.wpci-esi.org.
