Review of the Tariff Methodology 2024/25 – 2026/27

Tariff Methodology

The Multi Year Tariff Methodology (“the Methodology”) valid for the 2021/22 – 2023/24 tariff period, has reached the end of its applicability. The Regulator is revising the Methodology which will be used in the assessment and determination of revenues allowed for National Ports Authority (“NPA”) and resultant port tariffs. This is the fourth (4) review of the Methodology and the focus will be on operational and capital efficiency. 

Copies of the proposed Methodology may be obtained from the Regulator’s website: https://portsregulator.org/discussion-document-port-tariff-methodology-for-tariff-years-2024-25-2026-27/ 

Port users, stakeholders, and interested parties are requested to comment and submit written comments on the proposed Tariff Methodology no later than by Friday, 03 February 2023.
