Dockage charges will be computed based on the vessel classification and LOA (length overall) of the vessel(s) as published in LLOYD’S REGISTER OF SHIPPING per the following schedule. Charges are stated per linear foot, unless otherwise indicated, of the vessel(s) and are applicable, per each 24 hour period, or fraction thereof. The 24 hour period begins at the time the vessel or barge moors and ends when the vessel or barge unmoors. A minimum dockage charge of $1,105.38, per vessel or barge, per day, will be assessed. Dockage is assessed against the vessel or its local agent. Dockage shall be paid by the party so assessed before the vessel leaves GPA’s terminals unless the said party has established credit with GPA. See notes.

EARLY DOCKAGE
Vessels making regularly scheduled calls to GPA’s facilities may be granted early dockage, subject to the following conditions:
     1. Berth availability and the approval of GPA’s Ship Operations department;
     2.Docking is performed the evening prior to the vessel beginning to work, and with labor schedule not later than 0800 hours the following morning;
     3.Dockage charge will commence at 0600 hours.

If early dockage is granted, any other negotiated dockage rates may not apply, particularly if the result is no dockage assessment whatsoever.

IDLE DOCKAGE
Vessels making regularly scheduled calls to GPA’s facilities may be granted, upon request, idle dockage at one-half of the published schedule dockage rate, subject to the dockage minimum charge, and based on berth availability and at the discretion of GPA’s Ship Operations Department. Examples of when idle dockage may be granted are vessel repair and governmental seizure.
