Conditions: Fishing Vessels and Pleasure Craft

In order for a vessel to berth at Napier Port, the following conditions must be adhered to. An application for berthage signifies that the vessel owner/s or charterer agrees with the conditions and will abide by them at all times.

• Napier Port will utilise 3 Wharf only for the berthage of fishing vessels. Short term layups are only by prior arrangement and upon application to Napier Port. Two berths may be available on 3 West for short term layups, while 3 East will be allocated for vessel discharge, loading or bunkering only. Cement tankers, cargo and tallow vessels have priority on this berth. Any non-working vessel on this wharf will be charged a penalty per day or part thereof.
• Pre-advice of vessel visit containing ETA, ETD, crew list and estimated draft must be made to marinegroup@napierport.co.nz 48 hours before vessel arrival. Notification will be returned as to whether the vessel visit can be accommodated with cargo shipping. There is no guarantee of berthage. No berthage will be offered to vessels with less than 2.4m draft.
• Changes in vessel ETA and ETD are to be communicated to marinegroup@napierport.co.nz at 12 hours and six hours prior to berthing. If a change of greater than six hours is not communicated to Napier Port, berthage may be cancelled due to other shipping movements.
• Contact must be made with Napier Harbour Control VHF on channel 12 or 16 two hours prior to arriving at the pilot station and before entering or leaving the port.
• Included in above-mentioned rates is water (self-serve only using own stand pipe and hose). Stand pipes can be purchased from the engineering workshop or N & J Price Engineering.

• Charges are per 36-hour period or part thereof, unless otherwise specified.
• Vessels must comply when requested to shift in order to accommodate a larger cargo vessel. Due to the changing nature of shipping, the vessel must shift a minimum of four hours from the latest ETA of the larger vessel, or within one hour of being notified of the shift, when within four hours of the ETA.
• Vessels are to be either constantly manned, or remain in phone contact with Napier Port Security and be capable of being moved within one hour of notification.
• If an unmanned vessel has to be shifted and the vessel has failed to move within the specified time frame despite contact with the person responsible, or no contact can be made with the person responsible for the vessel, it will be shifted by Napier Port and a fee of $6,102 plus tug hire will be charged to the customer.
• Napier Port will not be liable for reconnection to shore power and therefore potential loss of product onboard if an unmanned vessel is shifted for a larger cargo vessel with berth priority. Napier Port will also not be liable for any damage to the vessel that may occur during the shift.
• Vessels must comply when requested to shift in order to accommodate larger cargo vessels. If a Napier Port pilot is required to move a vessel, a pilotage fee of $3,899 will be incurred.
• Napier Port reserves the right to refuse berthage and/or other services in order to secure payment of overdue/outstanding port charges.
• All fishing vessels are responsible for cleaning the wharf after use. No evidence of cargo discharge or other products is to be left on the wharf. Wharf cleaning must not consist of hosing solid material discharge from the wharf into the harbour. If the wharf has not been cleaned to the appropriate standard, Napier Port will arrange cleaning to be carried out at the fishing vessel’s expense.
• Seven (7) day payment terms following invoicing and only to approved fishing vessel and pleasure craft customers.
• For new fishing vessel customers or vessels that have previously breached the above conditions, Napier Port will require payment of a good behaviour bond of $6,487 prior to berthage. The bond shall be retained if breaches occur, or paid back in full if all above conditions are adhered to. Such breaches include but are not limited to health and safety incidents, security/police incidents, work undertaken on wharf without permission, environmental damage and damage to Napier Port property.
