SECOND SCHEDULE.

PART I.

Provisions applying in relation to Tonnage Rates.

1. The expression "the harbours" means Dublin Harbour, Skerries Harbour and Balbriggan Harbour.

3. The tonnage of a vessel upon which tonnage rates shall be based and chargeable shall be the net register tonnage or half the gross tonnage, whichever is the greater.

4. Tonnage rates shall not be chargeable in respect of both the arrival and departure of a vessel but if a vessel on which tonnage rates have been charged in respect of its arrival takes on board at any of the harbours cargo or passengers for a port or place the tonnage rates for which are higher than those charged on such arrival, the difference between the two rates shall be chargeable.

5. A vessel which does not land cargo or passengers but which takes on board cargo or passengers at any of the harbours shall be deemed to be trading only with the port of destination of such cargo or passengers.

5. For a vessel, other than a fishing vessel, which enters the River Liffey for a non-trading purpose such as for repairs or through stress of weather or for bunkers or stores for the vessel's own consumption only and does not take on board any cargo or passengers or discharge cargo or disembark passengers except temporarily in connection with repairs to the vessel, per ton £12.5p
