Services provided

Article 22.

Reykjanes Harbour provides general service 24 hours a day, every day of the year, in accordance with the terms of this tariff. The exception to this is from 12:00 on Christmas Eve, December 24, to 12:00 on Christmas Day, December 25, and from 12:00 on New Year's Day, December 31, to 12:00 on New Year's Day, January 1, each year.

About the collection and payment of port dues

Article 23.

The Harbour Master is responsible for the collection of all harbour dues and shall pay the dues at the harbour office. If the dues are not paid on the due dates, the highest legally permitted interest may be charged on the debt.

Article 24.

The captain and owner of a ship are responsible for paying the fees payable to the Port of Reykjanes for the ship. The captain is obliged upon arrival at the port to provide the port authority with information about the ship in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of Article 33 of Regulation No. 326/2004 on port affairs and to hand over to the port authority the ship's nationality and registration certificate, if the port authority therefore requires insufficient information from the captain, and the port authority has the right to retain the certificates until the fees are paid. Delays and losses resulting from this are solely the responsibility and expense of the payer of the accrued fees.

Accrued fees must be paid before a ship leaves the port, and no captain can expect to receive payment for his ship from the district magistrate or customs officer unless he proves with a certificate from the port manager that he has paid all his fees to the port.

Article 25.

Freight is payable on all goods that are unloaded, delivered or transported, or otherwise transported by sea or land, within the limits of the port. The freight is calculated as a debt to the ship before the ship sets sail, unless otherwise specifically agreed. Freight is the responsibility of the carrier and delivery of goods without payment of freight is his responsibility.

If goods are transferred from one ship to another, the person unloading pays the freight charge.

Cargo duty on goods arriving at the port becomes due when the vessel carrying the goods arrives at the port, and cargo duty on goods leaving the port becomes due when the goods are loaded onto the vessel. The captain and ship's officer are not permitted to deliver the goods until the duty is paid.

Article 26.

All fees according to this tariff may always be secured by enforcement after a court order. The shipping fees are secured by a legal lien on the relevant ship or insurance money. This lien shall be valid for two years before contractual liens, cf. the provisions of the 2nd paragraph of Article 21 of the Ports Act No. 61/2003. Reykjanes Port is authorized to demand further security for payment of accrued fees if deemed necessary.

Article 27.

All charges in this tariff are exclusive of VAT. Reykjaneshöfn is obliged to collect VAT on all charges in this tariff, cf. Section 3, Article 3, of Act No. 50/1988 on VAT. Foreign fishing vessels and passenger ships sailing abroad are excluded.

Effective date

Article 28.

This tariff for Reykjanes Port is approved by the Port Authority on December 12, 2024, in accordance with the Port Act No. 61/2003 and Article 37 of the Port Regulation No. 326/2004.

The tariff will enter into force on 1 January 2025 and will be published for all interested parties to follow. At the same time, the tariff for Reykjaneshöfn will expire on 1 January 2024.
