Article 13:

The following remarks should be taken into consideration when is applied article 12 (table no. 4):
A. If work requested by agent on Sundays or official holiday is not cancelled by 12.00 noon on the last working day before the holiday, Port management will charge two hours hire for each equipment ordered.
B. Hiring of equipment is based on the exact hours used, with a minimum of two hours hire for each equipment ordered.
C. Loading & discharging of hired equipment in ship’s holds are considered as two completed operations and calculated on the basis.
D. When using mobile cranes (GM165, GM300) for discharging or loading, the used effective worked hours are calculated as per table no. 4 or on weight as per tables no. 3-A and 3-B, whichever is more profitable for the port.
E. Each equipment brought up from outside the port (after getting the management’s approval), to operate temporarily inside the port or on the deck of the ship, for the account of a shipping agent or consignee, requires from concerned parties the settlement of a lump sum fee of 100$ per day or part thereof.
F. The FTRV fee (35% of TRV) applies when GEPB has the means to provide a vehicle transfer service from the ship to the storage warehouse, but the shipping agency uses drivers not affiliated with the port (port employees or those employed by a contractor working with GEPB). Ro-Ro vessels are exempt from this fee if the Service is not available.
