     and subsequently loading a cargo will be liable for Harbour Dues (inc. of Dock Dues)
     inwards and outwards at the appropriate rate.
5.   Ships will be charged the inward or outward dues, whichever may be the higher,

11. Charges on vessels shall, except to the extent ABP declare otherwise, be related to
    such tonnage as is measured in accordance with the International Convention on
    Tonnage Measurement of Ships 1969 and which is stated on the International
    tonnage Certificate (1969).
     In the case of vessels not issued with an International Tonnage Certificate, charges
     will be related to such tonnage as is calculated in accordance with the following
     formula:-
     GTp = Ve x a
     in which GTp, Ve and a are defined as follows:

     i)     GTp =     Calculated Gross tonnage
     ii)    Ve   =    L x B x H where
            *L   =    Length in metres according to International Load Line Certificate
            *B   =    Moulded breadth in metres
            *H   =    Height from the bottom to the uppermost complete deck (upper
                      deck) in metres.
     iii)   a    =    as derived from the following table based on Ve above, interpolating
                      as necessary to determine ‘a’ from the actual Ve value.

    iv)          NTp    =    Calculated Net tonnage which is 0.6 x GTp
    * As specified in the ships documents or Lloyds Register of Ships

12. In accordance with the European Council Regulations (EC) No. 2978/94, oil tankers
    equipped with segregated ballast tanks will receive a reduction on the gross tonnage
    related charges in this tariff. To claim this reduction, the vessel must be able to
    produce an International Tonnage Certificate (1969) showing under “Remarks“ that
    the vessel is equipped with segregated ballast tanks. Vessels will be charged on the
    basis of the GT at the appropriate rate per GT less 17%.
13. In calculating dues on ships, fractions of a gross ton, or of a week will be reckoned as
    a gross ton or a week respectively with a minimum charge as for 100 tons.
14. In calculating the rent both the day of entry and the day or departure will be included.
15. The foregoing Regulations and Conditions other than Nos.1, 12 and 13 thereof shall
    not apply to vessels to which Part II of Table 1 applies.
16. Vessels to which Part II of Table 1 applies using the Deep Water Berth shall pay, in
