The increase will apply to crude oil tankers, petroleum derivative carriers, liquefied natural gas carriers and liquefied petroleum gas, container ships and passenger ships, the authority said in a statement.

A 5 per cent increase will be levied on dry bulk carriers and roll-on/roll-off vessels.

Ships heading from ports in Northwestern Europe to destinations in the Far East are exempt from the latest increase.
