Turkish port charges: what a port-call PDA contains
A port-call PDA for a Turkish port groups its lines into seven blocks. Knowing the blocks makes an agent's proforma easy to check.
- Port navigation — pilotage, tugboat assistance, mooring and berthing.
- Port dues — harbour master dues and the port's own charges.
- Regulatory — sanitary dues, MARPOL, light dues and VTS where they apply.
- Chamber & official — Chamber of Shipping fees and freight-share charges.
- Disbursement — miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses, customs overtime.
- Supervision — cargo supervision where applicable.
- Agency — the agent's fee.
National tariff or port tariff
VesselPDA prices a call from the national tariff, or from the port's own tariff where one is on file, then converts with live TCMB exchange rates.
