and came into force in 2009.
According to these amendments,
port dues for cruise vessels larger
than 50,000 GT (Gross Tonnage)
are calculated on the rate of
50,000 GT, and a 20 % discount
on port dues are granted from the
second call of each year.

Terminal is under construction
in the central part of the city. It
will be completed in 2012.
