The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has published a Notice of Amendments for their 2023 fees. In summary, the amendments for the auto, cargo and container sectors reflect a 3.4% CPI increase for Berthage and Wharfage rates. Harbour Dues rates reflect an increase of 6.5% and include a new discount rate as well as new and revised criteria to qualify for Harbour Dues discounts. Included as well are the annually adjusted rates for GIF, and the new Gateway Infrastructure Fee 2 (GIF2) which include two new areas for fee recovery – Second Narrows East Terminals, and Fraser River Trade Area. Persons interested in making written representations to the VFPA on the subject of the proposed fee amendments or any other matter in this notice may do so, on or prior to December 13, 2022.
