partner the right of use of a part of a public good (e.g. public domain) for
a given time’

Concessions - prices
Parameters for Price setting
Location (quay/land)
State of grounds (paved/unpaved)
Nature of planned activity
(traffic generating activities / services to traffic generating /
other services)
Specific tariffs for: Private parking facilities

Financing of the port authority
- Port dues /revenues of the exercise of the port management
competences and other activities.
- Investments/financial responsibility of the Flemish Region : the
construction, the maintenance and operation of the maritime gateways
and the basis infrastructure of the port (except port internal basis
infrastructure, e.g. the docks).
- Subsidies by the Flemish Region (specific Executive Orders by the
Flemish Government): e.g. for the maintenance of the sea locks, for
investments in port internal basis infrastructure and equipment
infrastructure (e.g. commercial mooring facilities for transshipment).
If the port managerial competencies are not exercised in conformity with the Port decree, the subsidies can be withdrawn
/recovered.

Concessions - terms
Maximum duration of 40 years (maritime) / 30 years (services)
