The tariff as a dated document
Agents ask for the price list every winter — something to attach to a statement of account, forward to the line and file. A signed PDF, Prices and terms 2026, is in preparation and will be linked here with the same effective and revision dates as the table above.

Environmental adjustment (EPI)
Skjolden is registered in the Environmental Port Index. A vessel's EPI score adjusts the quay, mooring, passenger and security fees by between -25 % and +60 %, with the breakpoint at 45 points.
Values are taken exclusively from the EPI portal (DNV). The port does not accept scores submitted by email, spreadsheet or in the pre-arrival message, and does not adjust an invoice on the basis of a figure that is not in the portal.
The vessel must report within 72 hours of departure. A call that is not reported within that window is assessed at 0 points, which is the maximum surcharge.
Because the score is only available after departure, the invoice is issued after the vessel has sailed. The same mechanism is clause 6 of the terms.
The point-by-point conversion from score to percentage is issued with the tariff and not reproduced here; agents who need it to check an invoice line can request the current table from post@skjoldenport.com.
| EPI score | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | -25 % |
| 80–89 | -20 % |
| 70–79 | -15 % |
| 60–69 | -10 % |
| 50–59 | -5 % |
| 40–49 | 0 % |
| 30–39 | +10 % |
| 20–29 | +20 % |
| 10–19 | +30 % |
| 0–9 | +60 % |
Ships at anchor
Vessels at anchor are not charged quay or mooring fees. Passenger and security fees apply, for one day.
| Fee | At anchor | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Quay fee | Not charged | The vessel does not occupy the pier. |
| Mooring fee | Not charged | No lines are handled. |
| Passenger fee | Charged | Per lower berth, for 1 day. |
| Security fee (ISPS) | Charged | Per lower berth, for 1 day. The tender pier is inside the ISPS facility. |
Decided 10 August 2026, this is the port's single answer on the question. It replaces an earlier policy document circulated to agents and lines in April 2025, which stated that vessels at anchor pay 50 % of the quay, mooring, passenger and security fees. That document is withdrawn; any call invoiced against it should be raised with the port.
Anchorage is not a discount product. It releases the pier for a larger vessel, and which vessel gets the pier is set by the berth allocation policy, not by the tariff.
Overnight and extended stays
A vessel alongside past midnight, by plan or because of weather:
- Quay fee — per commenced day. Two calendar days alongside is two days of quay fee.
- Passenger fee — per commenced day, on the same basis.
- Mooring fee — once. The vessel is moored once, and is charged once, however long it stays.
- Security fee (ISPS) — For extended stays, the ISPS security fee applies only to days the port itself mans the gate.
An extension at short notice may be granted on the condition that the vessel staffs the gate itself overnight, with the terminal building closed. Confirm it in writing when the extension is requested — that is what decides how the security fee falls.
Basis of calculation and invoicing
The four rules the invoice is built from. The contractual version is clause 5 of the terms.
What the fees are calculated on
- Gross tonnage — as stated in the vessel's international tonnage certificate. Not a figure quoted in the pre-arrival message, and not net tonnage.
- Passengers — lower berths, not realised headcount and not maximum occupancy. Documentation may be requested.
- Minimum billing basis — a vessel below 25,000 GT is charged on 25,000 GT; a vessel carrying fewer than 500 lower berths is charged on 500. These are floors on the basis of calculation, not separate fees.
- Days — commenced days, counted by calendar day alongside.
Who is invoiced
The invoice is issued to the agent registered on the call, at the invoice address given in the quay request notification. If the agency changes after a call is confirmed, tell the port in writing before the vessel arrives — a change of agent after invoicing has to be settled with a credit note and a reissued invoice.
If an invoice is wrong
The errors that come up are almost always the same two: the wrong gross tonnage, or the wrong agent. In both cases the port issues a credit note and a corrected invoice. Send the vessel name, the call date, the invoice number and the tonnage certificate to post@skjoldenport.com, and state which figure you believe is wrong.

This is an estimate, not an invoice. It does not confirm a berth, a date or an environmental adjustment. The invoice is issued after departure on the vessel's certified gross tonnage, its confirmed lower berth count and the EPI score recorded in the EPI portal (DNV). Where they differ, the invoice governs.
Shore excursion services
Guiding, dispatch and the excursion programme are not port dues. They are commercial services, quoted per call against the programme a line books, and invoiced separately.
Rates are not published. On request from shorex@skjoldenport.com. Capacities, durations, seasons and group limits for all excursions are published, in the shore excursion manual.
