Calculate your annual fee

Calculation of the surface occupied: Why? How?

Mooring fees for annual customers: a new way of calculating fees from the 1st January 2018

Why ?

To date, annual rental prices for a berth in the port have been calculated based on categories of overall length and boat width. In spring 2016, the marina explored a pricing basis progression mitigating threshold effects for the categories, often with negative consequences. This study also aimed to reinforce a balance between how much port infrastructures is used and the amount paid.

How ?

Following three meetings having taken place between May and September 2017 involving the Local Committee of Permanent Port Users (CLUPP, Comité Local des Usagers Permanents du Port) and a favourable opinion from the Port Council, the Marina Board of Directors approved the following on the 17th of last October :

• As of now, the pricing basis for berths in the port shall be modified so that prices are now based on the area occupied.
• A new distribution of fees, neutral in terms of revenue for the port. In order to be perfectly clear, under no circumstances are the port management implementing a new pricing calculation method with the aim of increasing their revenue.
• The following pricing calculation method shall apply, irrespective of the increase in annual fees (for your information, it shall be 0.75% in 2018):
  • Area = (overall length x overall width) rounded down to the nearest whole number.
  • Basis for the calculations:
    • Ships with an area less than or equal to 10m²: flat rate of €950, all taxes included.
    • Ships with an area more than 10m²: area in m² x €72.224 all taxes included + flat rate of €400 all taxes included.
  • Weighting coefficient of 90% applied to the formula for multihulls.
  • Variations in fees are evened out across a 5-year period, whether it is a matter of an increase or decrease (2018/2022).

The resolution of the Marina Board of Directors stipulates that a progressive method should be used to even out these variations, used to spread out the revised fee across a 5-year period, whether it is a matter of an increase or decrease. Annual fees are evened out across a 5-year period as follows :

fees calculated by m² 2017 – fees calculated by ml 2017

5 years

• For the first year of the 5-year period in this ‘evening out’ process (2018), the adjusted fee shall be equal to:
  (fees calculated by m² 2017 + inflation 0.75%) +/- annual adjustment x 4 years.
• For the second year of the 5-year period in this ‘evening out’ process (2018), the adjusted fee shall be equal to:
  (fees calculated by m² 2018 + inflation 0.75%) +/- annual adjustment x 3 years.
  And so forth…
