In order to count harbor dues, a passenger vessel with gross tonnage more than 40000 GT is considered equal to gross tonnage of 40000 GT.
Harbor dues for vessels without Measurement Certificates are estimated by a relative tonnage in cubic meters which is equal to product of three numbers – maximum length, maximum width, and maximum board height of the vessel, and with a 3.5 ratio
