Fees Calculator German Flag
Transparent fees
Cost transparency of the German Flag is important to us. With our fees calculator German Flag you can calculate the most important fees for German-flagged merchant ships on international voyages yourself. Our staff will gladly inform you about fees regarding any other ships or exceptional cases.
What can the fees calculator German Flag do?
The fees calculator German Flag provides you with the fees for ship-related compulsory certificates for cargo and passenger ships on international voyages. In doing so the calculator takes into account the reduced fees when the certificates are not issued for the full term of 5 years during a change of flag (because the class term is shorter).
The calculator does not include the following fees and costs:
- ship-related additional certificates (e.g. for the transport of dangerous goods), because depending on the cargo of the ship different additional certificates are required,
- ship surveys, tonnage measurements or plan approvals since the fee amount is based on the individual survey or processing time and, moreover, many shipping companies have arranged block fee contracts with classification societies,
- if necessary, the transition of the medical equipment (on-board pharmacy), of which the costs depend on the present standard on board,
- seafarer’s documents (e.g. certificates of competency), since depending on the composition of the crew a different amount of seafarers need these documents,
- the wages of the crew members, because the costs of wages depend on many different factors (manning of the ship, use of bargaining agreements, social security law)
Further information about the advantageous fees of the German Flag is under the heading “Financial Matters”.
