Rates for supply of water to ships

From 1st January 2017

The selling price of water supplied to ships within the Lemesos port is €5,00/m³ and the rigging fee €20.

The overtime wage charges are based on the actual cost of the time worked by the Water Board employees at the Port.

The overtime wage charges which are mentioned below are reduced proportionately according to the number of ships being concurrently supplied:

Daily after 3:30pm: €40 per hour.

Weekends and holidays: €55 per hour. 

Furthermore, for warships that remain connected with a WBL water meter for more than 48 hours  without receiving any water, the rigging   fee is set at €5 per day (over and above the initial €20 rigging  fee).

Τhe Provision of water supply to vessels could be extended up to 8pm,  with the relevant overtime charges applied after 3:30pm.

For the  supply to your vessel, you may  contact the WBL personnel at the Lemesos Port,  in advance, by dialling   telephone number +357-99343278.

Please send in advance all your requests (with all the supporting documentation)   for  water supply after 3:30pm, weekends or Public Holidays,  in writing by e-mail at contact@wbl.com.cy or by fax at  25564382  for examining each request

The total cost for water supplied to ships (especially the ones  with a small diameter water connection)   could be lower if , whenever possible, the supply takes place  during normal working hours (from Monday until Friday 8am -3:30pm) because  there will be no overtime wages charges.
