Ships without Obligation TEPAI

    Ships within the territory but excluding waters eg. in parking boats or in private space, they are not obliged to TE.P.A.H. as non-located in Greek territorial waters. However, as soon as they find themselves in TE.P.AH. should be paid as foreseen.

 

How TEPAI obligation is calculated

It is calculated - for a minimum of one month, irrespective of the ship's stay in Greek waters, within the month (eg for a vessel entering 11 August and remaining until 28th of the same month, it will be paid HELLENIC REPUBLIC of the month of August). To calculate the TE.P.A.H. of the ship we need to know the total ship length (up to two decimals), as shown by an official document, as follows: 

 Per month

    7> -8m 16 euros
    8> -10m 25 euros
    10> -12m 33 euros
    > 12m EUR 8 per meter, calculated from the first measure

What the payment may be about

The payment may be for one month, a number of months – consecutive or not - (eg, payment of TEPAI May, June and August) but also the entire year (in the last case, there is a discount of 10%)

  
Payment of  TEPAI

Ships that remain in Greek territorial waters pay TEPAI in due time, before the start of each month of their stay.

    10% Discount: With the due annual payment of TEPAI, if the payment is made in December or January, depending on whether the ships are already in Greek territorial waters or the date of their entry.
