RATES

The Authority will provide fresh water to vessels. The charge shall be $8.00, per 2,000 pounds, with a minimum of $341.00.If a request for fresh water requires overtime, charges for a forklift operator, as provided in Rule 34-630 shall apply.

REQUESTS

The recognized working hours for providing fresh water to vessels are from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. To order fresh water, send a freshwater request form via email to [email protected], when a vessel is inbound or docked. If it is after-hours or there is an emergency request, please email freshwater@gaports.com and contact our on-call personnel at 912-964-3811.

CONNECTION

We estimate that it may take up to 3 hours for the Authority to connect the water line. To facilitate the water connection, vessels must lower a vessel-supplied water line onto the dock so that it is accessible directly below the vessel’s water inlet. The Authority will attach its water lines and an emergency shutoff valve to the vessel’s water line.

DISCONNECTION

The agent or vessel must send a disconnect request via email to [email protected]. The Authority will disconnect the water line after the vessel has received the appropriate amount of fresh water.
