Port Tariff Data
Digitised, structured port tariffs from Norwegian ports, with international ports added on demand — the raw data layer powering cost calculations, tariff administration and public transparency across the Arkiway platform.
The data foundation for port cost intelligence
Port tariffs are complex, multi-layered fee structures that vary by port, vessel type, cargo, season and environmental classification. Most tariff data exists only in PDF documents, unstructured spreadsheets or as text and tables on port websites — making it impossible to calculate costs programmatically or compare ports systematically.
Port Tariff Data is Arkiway's structured tariff database. We digitise, normalise and version port tariffs so they become machine-readable inputs for calculation engines, administration tools and transparency portals. Every tariff change is tracked, every version preserved.
- Port dues and tonnage charges by vessel type and size
- Quay fees, berth charges and terminal-specific rates
- Environmental discounts (ESI, CSI, green port incentives)
- Cargo handling charges and vessel-based surcharges
- Version history with effective dates for every tariff change
Key Capabilities
Structured, versioned and machine-readable — tariff data ready for calculations, administration and transparency.
Port tariffs digitised into normalised, structured data that captures each fee component's calculation method — fixed amounts, per-unit rates, tiered progressions and percentage surcharges — along with measurement units (GT, G-value, tonnes, time), seasonal variations and component dependencies.
Core DataFull coverage of Norwegian ports today. International ports are added on demand based on customer needs — contact us to request coverage for specific ports.
Core DataEvery tariff change is versioned with effective dates — enabling historical cost reconstruction, audit trails and point-in-time calculations.
Core DataStandardised classification of fee types — fairway dues, quay charges, ISPS fees, waste fees, passenger charges — enabling consistent cross-port comparison.
Core DataDiscount structures linked to environmental vessel scores (ESI, CSI) and port-specific green incentive programs mapped into the tariff data.
Core DataQuery tariff data programmatically via commercial REST APIs — enabling system-to-system integrations for tariff lookups and cost calculations.
Core DataIntegration Points
Port Tariff Data feeds structured tariff information to calculation engines, administration tools and customer-facing portals.
Calculation engine that transforms tariff data into itemised port cost breakdowns for any vessel and scenario.
Administration platform where port authorities model, validate and publish tariff structures — with version control, publication scheduling, revenue estimation and scenario simulations for evaluating rate changes before they take effect.
Public portal displaying tariff data and cost calculations for Norwegian port customers and stakeholders.
Third-party systems querying tariff structures and fee schedules via developer API endpoints.
Who uses Port Tariff Data
Port Tariff Data serves any organisation that needs structured, reliable tariff information for cost calculations, administration or transparency.
Operations and finance teams that need structured tariff data for accurate port cost forecasting and cross-port comparison.
Tariff administrators who publish and maintain their port's fee structures through Tariff Studio, feeding back into the data layer.
Technology partners integrating tariff lookups and fee schedules into their own applications via commercial APIs.
Port agents who need accurate tariff data to produce proforma estimates and disbursement accounts for their principals.
Brokers who rely on up-to-date port cost data to build competitive freight offers and advise clients on optimal port selection.
Facility operators who maintain terminal-specific fee structures and use Tariff Studio to publish their rates into the shared data layer.
