A tanker of 10,000 GT sails directly to a shipyard within Gothenburg’s port zone without discharging or loading any cargo in the Port of Gothenburg.

A project vessel of 20,000 GT arrives at quay 751 to load a cargo of 1,000 tonnes, specifically for the project. The vessel is arriving from a port in Europe.

CALCULATION MODELS

A passing vessel of 3,000 GT on its way up to Lake Vänern makes a 3-hour stop on a weekday between 09.00 and 12.00.

PORT DUES FOR CARGO
When discharging and/or loading cargo at quay 751 port dues are levied at 27 SEK/tonne. The same dues apply in the case of ship-to-ship transfer.

For quays managed by terminal operators with concessions, the Port Authority does not levy any dues for cargo.

Separate agreements apply for cargo handling at the Energy Port and at quays 810 – 812.

Vessels with an ISPS certificate, and mooring at Stigbergskajen, quay 751, must bear the costs incurred for an ISPS guard approved by the Port Authority. Vessels without an ISPS certificate, and mooring at quay 751, must bear the costs incurred for inspecting the quay, water area and enclosed area on departure.

For vessels mooring at Stigbergskajen and staying longer than 48 hours, mains connection is compulsory.

Lay-up dues are levied if a vessel remains moored at the quay for more than 24 hours after unloading/loading has been completed. No lay-up dues are levied if the lay-up is due to circumstances under the control of the Port Authority or the Swedish Maritime Administration. The dues are calculated based on the vessel’s length overall (LOA) in metres.

For vessels used mainly for trade, as a hotel, residential accommodation, exhibitions, storage, offices or similar purposes, lay-up dues are levied based on a case-by-case assessment.

OTHER DUES

DUES FOR FRESH WATER 

Dues are levied for fresh water when delivered from quayside fire hydrants owned by and at the disposal of the Port Authority.

Vessels with a minimum ESI score of 30 points or at least CSI-class 4 will be granted a 10% discount on port dues, based on GT.

Vessels that bunker at least 30% fossil-free fuel of their annual consumption get an additional 10% discount. The condition for receiving the new environmental discount is that the fossil-free fuel must be bunkered in Gothenburg. The purpose of the new environmental discount is to speed up the transition to more climate-neutral shipping and is therefore planned to last a number of years.

The discount is given retroactively upon receipt of documentation showing:
– The amount of fossil-free fuel bunkered in Gothenburg (X thousand tonnes per year)
– The vessel’s total annual consumption of bunkered fuel (Y thousand tonnes per year)

CALCULATION MODELS
In 2024, a vessel with a GT of 50,000 bunkered X thousand tonnes of fossil-free fuel in Gothenburg. The vessel’s 2023 bunker consumption totals Y thousand tonnes. If X/Y is > 0.3 a discount of 10 per cent of paid-in port dues is repaid.

The number of port calls during the year × 50,000 GT × current port dues (price/GT) × 0.1 = Retroactive discount.

ENVIRONMENTAL DISCOUNTS

The discount applies if the vessel is certified according to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/91.

DUES FOR SHIP
GENERATED WASTE

The Port Authority charges for receiving waste from vessels in accordance with Swedish legislation.

SERVICE VESSELS
For naval, coast guard, customs, sea rescue and heritage and training vessels, and for vessels belonging to the Swedish Maritime Administration and which are not used for commercial purposes, no port dues are levied. These vessels are debited a service fee for household waste and a hook-up fee for the mains electric grid. For machine room waste (sludge) and other refuse the actual cost incurred is debited.

For vessels laying-up at a quay owned by, or at the disposal of, the Port Authority, full port dues will be levied, and after a 24-hour lay-up, lay-up dues for each subsequent day or part thereof.

BUNKERING, CREW CHANGE AND/OR PROVISIONING
For vessels calling at the Port of Gothenburg for the purpose of bunkering, crew change and/or restocking provisions for own use, there is a 50% discount off the normal dues for the relevant vessel category. Quayside mooring may be offered subject to availability.

REPAIRS, LAYING-UP, TANK CLEANING, ETC.
For vessels arriving in the Gothenburg general port area solely for repairs, rebuilding or structural completion at a shipyard within the port area.

INFO: For vessels passing through on Göta Älv River and Lake Vänern and that moor at quay for loading/unloading or that moor at quay for more than 24 hours, full port dues plus lay-up time are debited + lay-up time per vessel type.
