Definitions:
- Environmental
Mangement (EMC) charges:
- The Environmental
Management Charge or EMC is a charge payable by most commercial operators granted
permits by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA). This includes
operators conducting tourist programs and non- tourist commercial charters plus
those operating facilities in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP). Visitors
to the reef participating in a tourist activity are now liable to pay the charge
to the permit holder. The
role of the operator in relation to the charge is to collect and remit the charge
to the GBRMPA. Charges will be collected for the first 3 days of an extended charter.
Fourth or subsequent days of an extended charter will only be collected if the
visitor participates in an activity with another permit holder.
- Port
charges:
- Port
charges are determined by the Cairns
Port Authority. Every passenger coming
through the Cairns Marlin Marina pays a passenger levy to the Cairns Port Authority.
This levy is collected by the operators and remitted to the authorities.
- Fuel
and Administration charges:
- These
fees and charges have been set by the individual operators and they can therefore
vary from one operator to another.
