Port Waste Plan Tariffs Decree as from 01 July 2020

The Director of the Central Nautical Management North Sea Canal Area,

Having regard to:

• Article 6a, paragraphs 2 and 3, of the Dutch Law for Prevention of Pollution from Ships;
• The Mandate Decree of the Mayor and Aldermen of Amsterdam, dated 3 December 2019, numbered gmb 2020/7080, mandating the Director of the Central Nautical Management North Sea Canal Area to exercise their powers as Port Authority in the Municipality of Amsterdam under or pursuant to the Law for Prevention of Pollution from Ships;
• The Port Waste Plan North Sea Canal Area, approved by the Decree of the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, dated 14 February 2020;

Whereas:

• The Port Waste Plan tariffs have been in force unchanged since 1 January 2018;
• In 2018 and 2019, a decrease in the delivery of both Annex I and Annex V was observed;
• It is therefore considered appropriate to encourage the delivery of both Annexes;
• The seaport of Rotterdam has already increased the tariffs of the waste delivery entitlement for Annex I and Annex V to EUR 30 per m3;
• Because of the level playing field, it is appropriate to bring the refund for the delivery entitlement for Annex I and Annex V in line with the surrounding large seaports;
• The collectors, as stakeholders, have been consulted on the new tariff proposal for the waste delivery entitlement;
• There is support among these stakeholders for the current tariff change;
• The tariffs for the environmental levy and environmental discount remain unchanged;

Has decreed the following:

To set the Tariffs for the Port Waste Plan North Sea Canal Area as from 1 July 2020 as follows:

1. Environmental Levy

Obligatory levy for sea-going ships as described in the Port Waste Plan North Sea Canal Area:

GT seagoing ship Environmental Levy

3000 GT or less EUR105 + 0.06 * GT (rounded to whole EUR)

3001 GT or more EUR 225 + 0.02 * GT (rounded to whole EUR) with a maximum of EUR 580

Ships of which the main propulsion machinery is fuelled exclusively with marine gas oil, marine diesel oil, or LNG may apply for a reduction of 50% on the environmental levy.

2. Waste delivery entitlement ship-generated waste

The waste delivery entitlement will be deducted from the port reception facility's invoice to the delivering ship and will be paid out to the relevant port reception facility by the administrative organisation of the Port Waste Plan - which resides under the Harbour Master's Division of the Port of Amsterdam - and includes the following:

For the collection of ship-generated waste Annex I (liquid residues from the engine room, such as used engine oil, sludge, and bilge water) for all sea-going ships irrespective of their GT:

• EUR 200 + EUR 27,50 for every m3 of waste, where
• the total m3 of waste collected as indicated on the S form applies to the ship concerned;
• The limit applied to the number of m3 waste is equal to the storage capacity of the engine room of the ship concerned as indicated on the Supplement to the International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate (IOPP);
• The fixed amount of € 200 for Annex I will be paid no more than once to the port reception facility chosen by the shipping company or the ship's agent.

For the collection of ship-generated waste Annex V (domestic waste, food residues, plastic, and small dangerous waste, with the exception of cargo-associated waste such as dunnage and segregation tarpaulins) for all sea-going ships irrespective of their GT:

• EUR 200 + EUR 27,50 for every m3 of domestic waste and plastic, where
• the total m3 of waste collected as indicated on the S form applies to the ship concerned;
• The fixed amount of EUR 200 for Annex V will be paid no more than once to the port reception facility chosen by the shipping company or the ship's agent.;
• An additional refund of EUR 100 applies if small hazardous waste is separately collected by the same port reception facility in addition to the above-mentioned Annex V ship-generated waste;
• No additional costs are charged for the delivery above the limit of 6 m3 of clean and separately delivered plastic (plastic not contaminated with food residues, chemical products, oil, paint, or fats);
• If the same port reception facility uses the same tool for a simultaneous collection of Annex I and Annex V waste, the fixed amount of EUR 200 will be paid only once.

With the adoption of this Decree, Decree No. 17/04953 will be cancelled on 1 July 2020.
