Text Box: DOCKAGE FEES Commercial vessels shall be billed at the approved rates based on a quarter day schedule for all days excluding the first working day. The quarter day schedule shall be as follows: On the FIRST WORKING DAY all vessels will be charged FULL RATE for a full 24 hour period regardless of any other factors to include start time. On subsequent working days vessels will be charged at the FULL RATE - based upon FULL QUARTERS at the dock, unless a work stoppage occurs due to mechanical failure; in which case HALF RATE charges will apply during those FULL QUARTERS when no work is performed. On any day when no work is accomplished all FULL QUARTERS at the dock will be charged at HALF RATE. First Working Day: This day is exceptional in that FULL RATE is charged for the full 24 hour period, regardless of other circumstances which in any other berth day might reduce the full rate charge. Arrival Berth Day: This is the first day vessel makes fast to the dock. 1. Vessel commences to load or discharge = FULL RATE (See First Working Day definition) Should vessel finish work and depart during this berth day FULL RATE still applies. 2. Vessel does not commence work = HALF RATE. ( if vessel is not worked, for whatever reason ie., Bad weather, Holiday, Breakdown, No Cargo, etc., then the above rate applies.) Subsequent Berth Days: Any day other than arrival that vessel occupies dock. 1. Vessel commences to load or discharge = Full rate (See First Working Day definition) 2. Vessel continues work (First Working Day already established) = Full rate qtrs. A. Should vessel finish cargo and berth, only those quarters during which vessel was at berth are chargeable. B. Should a vessel continue work and then stop work for any reason other than departure or mechanical breakdown during any Berth day, all quarters are chargeable. C. Should vessel continue work and then stop due to a mechanical failure half rate qtr charge will apply for those full quarters during which no work is accomplished due to the failure. 3. Vessel does not work, other than mechanical breakdown, is chargeable at stated rate. In addition to the above rates a "Berthing Maintenance Fee" of US$300.00 will be assessed on the first day of loading per vessel. Should a particular vessel make a return voyage to the Port of Eastport during the same quarter of the same year, then the "Berth Maintenance Fee" will be waived during these subsequent qualifying ports of call. The Port Authority does not assess dockage fees on military vessels of the United States or Foreign governments nor to certain vessels engaged in scientific research or study. If any controversy exists over a vessel's classification (i.e. military, pleasure craft, research, etc.) the Port Director shall make the final determination.
