…After considering the application and the submissions made by all the stakeholders during the consultation period, and based on latest available data, the Ports Regulator has concluded that an appropriate overall increase in average tariffs for the financial year 2021/22 is 0%.
In particular:
All marine tariffs (Sections 1-8 of the Tariff Book, excluding Section 7 that deals with cargo dues) for existing commercial South African flagged vessels as well as commercial vessels registered in South Africa in 2019/20 will receive a 30% discount applicable year on year up to 31 March 2022.
Vessels registered in South Africa in 2020/21 will receive a 20% discount up to 31 March 2022 and similarly a vessel registered in 2021/22 will receive a 10% discount up to 31 March 2022.
All license fees will be reduced by 30%, and all license fees (Tariff) applicable per port for the tariff year 2021/22, can be paid in equal installments on an annual basis over the period of the license.
In support of the Government’s economic response to the Covid-19 pandemic, for the 2021/22 tariff year, as per section 4.1.1. of the Tariff Book, dealing with Port Dues, a reduction of 35% in port dues applicable will be allowed in the following instances:
Further, a reduction of 60% will be allowed on vessels calling for the sole purpose of taking on bunkers and/or stores and/or water or a combination of all three, provided the vessel’s entire stay does not exceed 48 hours. This reduction will not be enjoyed in addition to the 35% reduction granted for vessels not engaged in cargo working for the first 30 days only, bona fide coasters, passenger vessels and small vessels resorting under Section 4, Clause 2.
In line with the Multi-Year Tariff Methodology (“the Methodology”) of March 2020, the Ports Regulator projects that the indicative overall average tariff adjustment for the 2022/23 and 2023/24 tariff years will be within the 6% inflation target band.
The aforementioned tariff amendments will be automated through the TNPA invoicing systems triggered by the normal submission of cargo dues orders, effective from the 1st April 2021…
