The Gibraltar Port Authority (GPA) wishes to inform the public of the introduction of towage charges for pleasure crafts that require assistance within Gibraltar Territorial Waters due to breakdowns or recovery.

This new policy will come into effect from Friday 1st August 2025, and is part of GPA’s ongoing efforts to ensure efficient use of port resources and promote responsible vessel operation within local waters.

Towage Cost Structure:

• Weekdays (08:00 – 17:00): £133.00 per hour

• Weekdays (17:00 – 08:00), weekends, and public holidays: £265.00 per hour

• Emergency berth: First 24 hours free, thereafter £100.00 per day

These rates will apply when assistance is rendered by the Gibraltar Port Authority.

The GPA remains committed to ensuring safety for all port users within Gibraltar waters. Vessel owners and operators are reminded of the importance of always maintaining their crafts in a seaworthy condition to avoid the need for emergency intervention.
