Inland shipping rates
Port dues are charged for the use of the port and some public port facilities by inland vessels, tugs, fishing vessels, working and mooring jetties, pontoons, hoisting vessels, dredging vessels, floating cranes, and other floating vessels.
Subscriptions
Inland vessels that make regular use of the ports can take out a subscription with the Nautical Service Centre.
Free mooring scheme abolished
As of 1 January 2026, the ‘Free mooring” scheme was abolished. As of this date, every use of the port is subject to inland port dues, irrespective of the duration and nature of the stay, and there is one uniform rate structure. Transit without loading or unloading continues to free of port dues.
