The Ports Regulator is currently in the process of conducting a review of the current Multi-Year Tariff Methodology (2015/16 – 2017/18) in order to finalise an agreed methodology that will apply from the 2018/19 tariff year going forward.

Representation at public hearings by stakeholders is integral to the transparency and participative nature of such processes. The Regulator has invited parties who have submitted comments as well as academic experts, to present their view to the Regulator at a public Tariff Methodology workshop. Submissions have been received and published here
