In our impact analysis we have assumed the changes of the fairway dues and pilot fees which the Swedish Maritime Administration is planning. We have divided these into the following steps: - 1. Increased fairway dues (the Swedish fairway dues consist of two parts: one is based on the ships’ gross tonnage and the other part on the amount of cargo loaded/unloaded. A ten percent increase is assumed for the part based on the gross tonnage and a 25 percent increase for cargo defined as low valued) and a five percent increase for the pilot fees in 2011. - 2a. Increases according to point 1, and a pilot fee increase by another five per cent in 2012. - 2b. Increases according to point 2a and a pilot fee increase by another five per cent in 2013. - 3. Increases according to point 2b and the planned increases of the rail user charges in Sweden. - 4. Increases according to point 1 and the planned increases of the rail user charges in Sweden. The basis for the analysis consists of a literature review, including previous model based analyses of changed costs for maritime transports and a number of transport examples that have been collected in cooperation with the Inquiry of the competition conditions for shipping under the Swedish flag. Focus is on the short-term consequences for the transport industry and cargo owners.
