1. Method of calculation for
transit fees and other charges:
1.1 As
Net Tonnage is considered
the inscribed Tonnage on
the Vessel’s International
Tonnage
Certificate.
1.2 Whenever
the Port of Departure
and the Port of Destination
are not declared, the
fees
of Category “B" apply.
1.3 In
case the official documents
of the Vessel are not provided
to the Company’s authorized
employee for the calculation
of fees, then
the provisions of Article
15 of the Navigation & Tonnage
Regulation of the Corinth
Canal Company apply.
1.4 In case war ships do not provide their
Net Tonnage documents, the transit fees calculation
will be based on their Full Load capacity.
1.5 The calculation basis for submarines is
their Full Load capacity (Surface Standard).

Tugboats and Salvage Tugs will be 70% of their
Gross Tonnage.
1.7 For all vessels that an International
Tonnage Certificate has not been issued and
their fees cannot be otherwise calculated,
the Customer should contact the Company to
determine the transit fees.
1.8 Surcharges and reduction on fees apply
to all categories unless it is otherwise stated.
2. Warships and Passenger Liners have priority
over other vessels as long as the difference
between their arrival times does not exceed
30 minutes. 3. Vessels should have their pilot ladder
ready for the safe embarkation and disembarkation
of pilots. Appropriate ropes for the Tugboats
should also be ready; otherwise the vessel
might lose its priority in transiting the Canal
at the Company’s discretion.
4. Charges for other
services, which might be provided by
the Company but
are not defined in the
present document, are defined and paid
after a special agreement
with the Company. 5. For the use of two (2) Tugboats during
towage, double fees will be applied.
6. In case there is more than one Pilot used,
the fees are charged according to the number
of pilots.

fees according to the provisions of Article
8, paragraph 2 of Law 1067/80.
10. In case
the Master of the Vessel
declares false statements
concerning Net Tonnage, Total
Length, and Ports of Departure
and Destination, or whenever
a Vessel sails
away without paying
the transit fees, apart from
the non-collected fees, these
Vessels will also be charged
with a fine equal to 100%
of the corresponding fees
and the relevant Authorities
will be notified.
11. Fees can also be paid at the Canal offices.
Information on payment arrangements is provided
by the authorized employees of the Company
on VHF channel 11 or by phone.
12. V.A.T. is not included in the prices.
