Owners are responsible for informing the Harbour Office (Accounts Department) of any changes which could affect their charges; e.g. moving from the seasonal (paragraph. 2) rate to the non-seasonal (paragraphs. 3 or 4) rates or vice versa. Failure to do so will inevitably result in over charges being made. | ||

| 8. The charges for storage of vessels on land (paragraph 4) will not be applicable to those vessels stored within the confines of the Pentland Firth Yacht Club's Dinghy Park. | ||
| 9. VAT applies to all vessels under 15 GT. | ||
