Fairway dues will be raised as of 1 January 2025

Fairway dues are payable to the state for merchant ships in Finnish territorial waters when they arrive in a Finnish port from abroad or from another Finnish port. Fairway dues are collected by Customs.

The dues were halved in 2015 under temporary legislation.

On 19 December 2024, the President of the Republic adopted an Act amending the Act on Fairway Dues and repealing the temporary statutes on fairway dues. With the amendment, unit prices and maximum amounts of fairway dues will each be raised by 75.2 per cent. The provision on the separate reduction granted for transit transport in exports will be removed from the Act.  The criteria for determining the dues will not be changed in other respects.

Press release by the Ministry of Transport and Communications on 19 December 2024:
Amendments to the Act on Fairway Dues adopted
