route (Cape/Suez Canal/other route) and expected rebate
from normal tolls.
2. SUEZ CANAL TOLLS
Full S.C. Tolls amount, without any reduction, to be
submitted before transitting. The agreed rebate will
be released upon receiving the following documents -
Bill of lading and cargo manifest if any.
A statement signed by the Master and Owners/Operators
that the vessel made her voyage without any stoppage
at intermediate ports for cargo operations.
Certificate from the port authorities of origin stating
: date of departure - Nature & Quantity of cargo
loaded (or in ballast) - sailing to.
Certificate from port authorities of destination stating
: Coming from - date of arrival - Nature of cargo discharged
(or in ballast).
In the event that a vessel has called at any port enroute,
a Certificate/S.O.F. must be produced which verifies
that the vessel has only called for bunkering/crew change
purposes and no cargo operations have taken place.
These documents should be submitted within 6 months
of the transit, no reduction will be granted after this
period.
The calculated rebate is operative for 60 days from
the date of issue. If the transit does not take place
within this period a new application must be made. The
SCA will restudy the case provided that the new application
is received by them before the ship arrives at its deviation
point.
Note:
Should the vessel, for any reason, change load or discharge
port from those stated in the original Bill of Lading
or manifest, a revised calculation is to be presented
to the S.C.A. showing the new reduction required. New
documentation is to be presented accordingly.
General:
The S.C.A. calculate 2 extra days steaming via the
Cape for bad weather. Kindly take this into consideration
when making your calculations. State the vessels correct
speed and not the average speed, which is usually calculated
to take into account any bad weather over the whole
voyage. This will ensure that the allowance in the calculation
for lost time due to bad weather is not made twice.
On receipt of the completed Rebate Request Form attached,
we will make a proposal to the S.C.A. concerning any
vessel you feel should be eligible for a rebate, and
negotiate on your behalf. It normally takes two or three
days to receive a clear answer.
