A vessel at 120 000 GT arrives at the Port of Gothenburg from a port outside of Europe. The vessel has an ESI score of at least 30 points. Leaves 15 m³ (> 11 m³) sludge

CALCULATION MODELS

A vessel at 14 000 GT arrives at the Port of Gothenburg from a port in Europe. The vessel has an ESI score of at least 30 points. Leaves 15 m³ (> 11 m³) sludge and receives a SEK 0.05 discount/GT on the waste fee when a valid certificate can be presented.

To connect to OPS (Onshore Power Supply) at jetty 519, 520 or 521 in the Energy Port, the vessel needs to be approved by Port of Gothenburg. A request to connect/approval shall be done in advance by filling in a form found under E-services at Port of Gothenburg’s website – OPS Energy Port.

It is compulsory, for all vessels, fitted with electrical connection, mooring at jetty 519, 520 or 521, to use OPS Energy Port if they have received approval by Port of Gothenburg.

LAY-UP DUES
Gothenburg’s Energy Port does not have the facilities to offer extra lay-up time before commencing unloading/loading. After unloading/loading has been completed, extra lay-up time can only be granted in exceptional cases.

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.

Dues are levied for rinsing water originating from another location, or from vessels not calling at the port.

OTHER DUES

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

DUES FOR FRESH WATER 

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.

REBATE FOR VESSELS WITH AN INTEGRATED PIPE TUNNEL ON DECK
Port dues for vessels with an integrated pipe tunnel on deck will be reduced by a percentage in direct proportion to the ratio of the pipe tunnel to the vessel’s total GT. Applies when the certificate is shown.

DISCHARGING SLOP (RINSING WATER) TO RECIPIENT FACILITIES
Full port dues will be levied on vessels calling at the Port of Gothenburg to discharge slop originating from another location, or from vessels not calling at the port. For vessels calling at the Port of Gothenburg solely to discharge their own slop, the port dues will be levied at the rate applicable to vessels calling for repairs in accordance with Section 2.12.

PORT DUES FOR VESSELS

Dues are calculated based on GT bands, and for the vessel’s total GT. The following dues are levied.
