Transport Canada is proposing to simplify and adjust fees for marine cargo services, and we want your feedback.
Canada’s marine transportation sector relies on, and benefits from, services that Transport Canada provides. Our marine safety inspectors ensure higher-risk marine cargo is safely loaded and stowed. They:
Conduct mandatory inspections for regulated cargo (grain, concentrates and timber on deck)
Inspect solid bulk dangerous goods and packaged dangerous goods, under international standards and upon request
Check marine shippers’ procedures, for cargoes which may liquefy, to ensure they comply with international standards
Vessel operators directly benefit from these inspections that we offer 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Changes to marine cargo service fees
Under the existing system, vessel operators are subject to a complex fee structure for marine cargo services. There are 40 different fees that are authorized by three separate regulations. This is confusing and makes it hard for industry to know what they will have to pay. Under the new Marine Cargo Fee Modernization Proposal, we propose to:
Consolidate and simplify the fee structure
Amend and add new fees to better reflect the cost of delivering services
Ensure those who benefit most from the services pay a greater share of the cost
Create service standards consistent with requirements from the Service Fees Act
We want to hear from you:
