Port and Harbor Tariff Regulations Revision Date: July 1, 2000 City of Seward, Alaska 11 I I I SECTION II - SERVICES AND CHARGES Subsection 200 MOORAGE Outside the Small Boat Harbor: Vessels berthing or departing city docks, wharves, or any other terminal facility, including the shiplift system, must use sufficient tugs so that vessels can be berthed or removed in a safe manner. Berthing speed shall not exceed sixteen feet per minute, unless approved by the Harbormaster. Within the Small Boat Harbor: (a) Assignment of Berths. The Small Boat Harbor is often congested and it is the policy of the City of Seward to provide for the maximum public use of available facilities. The Harbormaster shall have discretion to implement that policy. Berth assignments to particular slips on the City of Seward float system are made by the Harbormaster. Berth assignments are made to a particular combination of vessel and owner/operator, are not assignable by the owner/operator and automatically expire upon sale or transfer of the vessel to another owner/operator. A berth assignment is not a lease or an exclusive right to occupy any particular slip. In order to maximize the public's use of existing facilities, it is common for the Harbormaster to temporarily assign vessels to slips normally used by another vessel when that vessel is out of the harbor. (b) Waiting List for Permanent Slip Assignment. Due to the demand for slips on the City of Seward float system, vessels will be assigned permanent slips based on waiting lists maintained by the Harbormaster's office. Separate waiting lists shall be maintained for the following size floats: 17 feet (accommodates vessel 12 to 21 feet) 23 feet (accommodates vessel 22 to 26 feet) 32 feet (accommodates vessel 27 to 36 feet) 40 feet (accommodates vessel 37 to 45 feet) 50 feet (accommodates vessel 46 to 54 feet) 75 feet (accommodates vessel 55 to 90 feet) Assignments to a permanent slip from the waiting lists shall be made in January each year by the Harbonnaster based on the slip size available and the most senior name on the waiting list for that size slip. There is a fee of THIRTY DOLLARS ($30.00) per year per listing on the waiting list(s) for a permanent slip assignment. The wait list year runs November 1 through October 31. Port and Harbor TarifJRegulations Revision Date: July 1, 2000 City of Seward, Alaska 12 Subsection 200 (c) Permanent Slip Assignments (I) The Harbormaster may assign a specific slip on the City of Seward float system within the Small Boat Harbor to a particular vessel on an annual basis. (2) A permanent slip assignment to a vessel is not a lease or right to occupy a particular slip and may not be assigned. (3) To maximize the use of the Small Boat Harbor, a permanently assigned slip may be assigned to a transient vessel when the permanently assigned owner/vessel is out of the harbor. (4) Upon the return of the permanently assigned vessel to the Small Boat Harbor (provided proper notifications are given and based on harbor congestion and the difficulties involved in moving vessels), the Harbormaster will attempt to rearrange vessels so that a vessel with a permanent slip assignment may berth at that assigned slip. (5) A vessel assigned a permanent slip assignment should notifY the Harbormaster when departing the harbor for more than five (5) days. If away from Seward for more than five (5) days, a permanently assigned vessel should notifY the Harbormaster of its intended arrival date and time back into the Small Boat Harbor. (d) Permanent and Temporary (Transient) Slip Assignments. There are two types of slip assignments at the City of Seward Small Boat Harbor. The first is a permanently assigned slip and the second is a transient slip. Slips that are permanently assigned to a boat/owner may be used for transient moorage when the permanently assigned vessel is away from the slip. (e) Notice Upon Arrival. All vessels should notifY the Seward Small Boat Harbor office prior to arrival. Those vessels which have received permanently assigned slips should notifY the Harbormaster's office twenty-four (24) hours prior to expected arrival to allow the harbor staff time to free the slip. If, despite reasonable efforts, the Harbormaster is unable to clear a permanently assigned slip due to congestion, high winds or safety considerations, a vessel with a permanently assigned slip may be required to temporarily use a transient slip or float as directed by the Harbormaster. Vessels entering the Small Boat Harbor which have not, for any reason, received a berthing assignment by radio contact or otherwise shall be restricted to the following areas: (i) X float; (ii) south side ofF float; (iii) K float; (iv) L float; and (v) city dock. If, as is frequently the case during periods of congestion, all of the above berths are full, a vessel is permitted to raft to a vessel already berthed. (f) Vessel Registration. All vessels must have a current registration form (Application and Agreement for Transient Moorage) on file with the Harbormaster. These forms must be filed immediately upon arrival at the Small Boat Harbor; however, vessels that arrive after normal Harbormaster office hours must register before 10:00 a.m. the following day.

(c) Vessels Docked to Repair, Shore, Outfit or Fumigate. The shiplift dock, adjacent and to the north of the shiplift system, was constructed and intended primarily to be used for ship repair and maintenance. Vessels being repaired by ship repair and maintenance businesses occupying upland facilities at the Seward Marine Industrial Center will therefore be preferred over cargo operations. Full dockage will be charged if and when a vessel is permitted to make repairs or alterations, shore for special freight, outfit, store or fumigate while docked at a City dock or tenninal facility. (d) Preftrence to Reserved Dock Use. A vessel may be permitted to berth at a City dock or terminal facility of the City of Seward without having fIrSt made written application for a berth assignment and without such an assignment having been granted.

Any vessel planning to remain at a city dock for a period of less than six (6) hours must notify the Harbormaster's office of such plan prior to arrival in the harbor. The City docks in the Small Boat Harbor include those adjacent to the fish processor's on-shore facilities, including the licensed dock area.
