Very important and not very nice information for boaters.
Sihanoukville port authorities set very high
fees for visiting yachts and
boats in the harbor. We succeeded in the negotiation process to reduce these payments from the original 700 to 280-300 dollars. That is a lot and we will continue negotiations to reduce these payments.
So the
current situation is as follows:
There are two ways of paperwork for the arrival of the boat.:
1. In the port of Sihanoukville through the state agency KAMSAB (
Shipping Agency, Logistic Service, Cruise and Passenger Service in Cambodia) are coming following rates:
- port charges $ 150
- The relevant authorities: the immigration police,
customs, port
captain, quarantine services, agent $ 100
- Services KAMSAB $ 50
Total $ 300 for a 2 month stay in the waters and on the territory of Cambodia.
If desired to extend the stay in Cambodia for more than 2 months, you have to pay back $ 300 per two month . (Promise you, dear boatmen that we will try to reduce these costs and wild requirements to a minimum.)
2. In the port of Stung Hav (15 miles from the port of Sihanoukville in a northerly direction):
- The same services as in Sihanoukville, but the cost of the entire package of $ 280 for 6 months of being in the waters and on the territory of Cambodia.
In the port of Stung Hav paperwork also makes branch of the state agent KAMSAB.
Note: Stung Hav port is currently only built and not even marked on the map and
charts (including Google).
During the voyage to this port from the port of Sihanoukville KAMSAB agent will come to you on board. This
service is free (soft drinks only).
After the formalities, you have to go back to Sihanoukville.
When docking more than 6 months:
You must leave the port for a short time in the sea and then you can come back to the marina Oceania.. In this case you have to pay back $ 280 all payments, but without the trip to Stung Hav.
(Once again: We promise you, dear boatmen that we will try to reduce these costs and wild claims to a minimum.
)
For completing all formalities without delays send by e-mail Marina Oceania Harbor Master copies of the following documents:
- Passports of crew members and passengers
- Documents on the boat with the data: name, flag, dimensions
- Also report : last port of call and estimated time of arrival (ETA)
Note: Prepare 4x5sm one photo for each person
