New charging structure for vessel & cargo dues

A change has been announced to the charging structure for vessel and cargo dues at the port of Ras Tanura.

Though initially planned for January 2017, following negotiations with the port authority, the new structure and applicable fees will be implemented on 1 May 2017.

As a result of the change, from 1 May, a new fee of SAR 1.00 will be applied and charged on all oil, gas and liquid oil products. This change will be reflected on all Proforma Disbursement Accounts sent for port calls from 1 May onwards. Due to the high value, all such fees will need to be remitted ahead of the vessel’s arrival at Ras Tanura.

In the meantime, up to and including 30 April, the existing charge of SAR 0.57 will continue to be charged on GRT for all vessels.

For further details or clarification of the new fee and its application, or general information about operations in Ras Tanura, contact GAC Saudi Arabia at [email protected]
