Wharfage fees on goods

All goods landed from a ship, or loaded on a ship, or loaded and unloaded from ship to ship, within the harbour limits, are liable for wharfage fees, with the exemptions stated below. The carrier shall submit a manifest and other related documents to the Port of Akureyri bs. which will be used to determine the wharfage fees.

For goods which, according to the ship’s manifest, are destined to foreign ports but are temporarily unloaded, wharfage fees shall only be charged when the goods are unloaded. Goods unloaded temporarily on account of damage to a ship are exempt from charges.

Wharfage fees are determined according to weight or value, including packing material, and charged on each separate consignment. The ship’s manifest shall be used when determining the wharfage fees. The captain or ship’s agent shall submit a copy of the manifest to the Port of Akureyri. If a manifest does not exist the captain shall give a pledge to the Port of Akureyri confirming the type and quantity of goods unloaded or loaded on his ship. If the Port Director so decides, he may have the quantity of goods estimated as he deems fit. If the quantity proves to be greater than stated, the owner of the goods shall pay for the extra charges.
If a consignment consists of more than one type of goods which are not itemised when submitted for the determination of wharfage fees, the type liable for the highest wharfage fees shall be used as a reference for charging.

Goods shall be classified in accordance with the wharfage fee classification as follows:

Dues on salted fish are based on double its weight and dues on fish in containers are calculated on the basis of estimated total value.

Collection and payment of dues

If charges are not paid on the due date, the Port of Akureyri reserves the right to levy penalty interest on the amount due in accordance with Article 6 of Act No. 38/2001 on Interest Rates and Price Indexation.

The captain, owner and operator of a ship are responsible for the payment of any  charges owed to the Port of Akureyri in relation to such ship. On entering the harbour, the captain is obliged to provide the Port Director with information on the ship in accordance with the provisions of Article 33, paragraph 5 of the Harbour Regulation No. 326/2004 and submit the ship’s Certificates of Nationality and Registration to him, if so requested by the Port Director, due to inadequate information from the captain. The Port Director is entitled to retain the certificates until the dues are paid. Any resulting delays and damages are solely the responsibility and at the expense of the payer of the dues.

Dues shall be paid before the ship departs from the harbour and a captain cannot expect to be provided with municipal or customs services for his ship except on presentation of documentary proof from the Port Director that all dues have been rendered to the port.

Wharfage fees are liable on all goods that are unloaded, delivered or transported, or otherwise moved by sea or on land, within the harbour boundaries. Wharfage fees are classified as the debt of a ship before it commences sailing, unless otherwise negotiated. The transporter of a consignment is held responsible for the payment of wharfage fees. He is also held responsible if goods are delivered without the payment of such fees.

If goods are transferred from one ship to another, the wharfage fees are to be paid by the party unloading such goods.

Wharfage fees on goods arriving in the harbour fall due when the ship transporting such goods arrives in the harbour, and wharfage fees on goods leaving the harbour fall due once they have been loaded onboard the ship. The captain and the ship’s agent may not deliver goods until after the dues have been paid.

Payment of all dues according to this schedule may always be secured by legal execution in consequence of a court order. 

All charges in this tariff are without value added tax
