Proposed increase in fees at Public Cargo Working Areas

In response to press enquiries about the proposed increase in fees for the services provided by the Marine Department at the public cargo working areas (PCWAs), a Government spokesman said today (Thursday):

The existing PCWA services provided by Marine Department include berthing, operation of equipment, the working of cargo and vehicle parking.

It is Government policy that fees should, in general, be set at levels sufficient to recover the full costs of providing the services.

The Government, through the gazette notice published on July 14, 1995, announced that the fees prescribed in the Port Control (Cargo Working Areas) Regulations will be increased by 20 per cent with effect from November 4, 1995.
