TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

TYPES OF CHARGES

Navigation Service Charge
The Navigation Service Charge is levied on vessels at the time of port entry for the general use of the
Port and its infrastructure, including the following facilities and services:

    Breakwaters                                          Vessel Traffic Control
    Channels and Channel Dredging                        Emergency Response Units
    Hydrographic Surveys                                 Harbour Master/Port Management
    Navigation Aids                                      Environmental Protection
    Port Communications


    o    Payer - Ship Owner (usually via Shipping Agent on port entry)
    o    Calculation - Calculated on basis of vessel's gross tonnage (GT) for each visit for all vessels
        greater than 600 GT.
Note: A removal to the offshore anchorage area followed by a subsequent re-entry to the port is
considered a part of the original port visit for the purpose of levying Navigation Services Charge.


Wharfage Charge
These charges are levied for the provision of the following services and facilities by the NPC:
    Berth-specific Dredging & Surveying                  Wharf Structure
    Offices                                              Workers' Amenities
    Wetland (mooring)                                    Pavements
    Wharf & Area Maintenance                             Wharf Management & Patrol
    Wharf Sheds                                          Serviced Land
    Utilities (excluding services to ship)

·   Wharfage is charged for the availability of a site at which stevedoring operations may be carried out.
·   Wharfage is levied per revenue tonne or container of cargo traded. As NPC costs are no different
    for different types of goods, but are related to the actual berth being used, different rates are
    charged for different berths rather than for different items of trade. The charge is levied on the
    cargo owner.
    o    Payer - Cargo owner (can be via Shipping Agent)
    o    Calculation -
         o    Non-containerised Cargo - on basis of greater of weight or volume and berth used
              regardless of type of commodity.
         o    Containerised Cargo - on basis of size of container regardless of type or source and
              destination of cargo.
Note: A revenue tonne is a mass of 1,000 kilograms or a volume of 1 cubic metre or 1 kilolitre,
whichever gives the largest number of units of cargo quantity.

Site Occupation Charge
Site occupation is charged for the occupation of all or part of a site. The charge is levied per hour for
which a berth is reserved or occupied and is charged to the site occupant.
    o   Payer - Site Occupant (usually Stevedore)
    o   Calculation - Site Occupancy charge commences from tie up of a vessel at a berth until
        departure of the vessel from the berth. This Site Occupation charge will be charged per hour or
        part thereof.
Site Occupancy charges will be waived for any delays caused directly by an industrial dispute involving
employees of the Corporation.


Ship Utility Charge
The Utility Charge is a fixed fee on vessels for the supply and provision of facilities and services to
supply water, electricity and telephones to vessels.
    o   Payer - Ship owner (usually via Shipping Agent).
    o   Calculation - Per visit to NPC/PWCS berths where this service is provided.


Pilotage Charge
This charge is levied for provision of a pilotage service for vessels entering, moving within or departing
the Port.
    o   Payer - Ship owner (usually via Shipping Agent).
    o   Calculation - Calculated on basis of vessel's GT for each pilotage service provided.


Port Cargo Access Charge
Division 4 Clause 56 of the Ports Corporatisation and Waterways Management Act 1995 provides for
the levying of a port access charge in respect of port access for cargo at the interface between the
vessel and the land based facilities for the purpose of stevedoring operations. The charge is calculated
by reference to the quantity of the cargo loaded or unloaded and is payable by the owner of the cargo.


Clause 57 allows the Minister for Ports and Waterways to fix the port cargo access charge. This charge
is collected by the NPC and paid to the New South Wales government.
