Subject to paragraph (2) below, the Commissioners may make such reasonable charges as they think fit for services and facilities provided by them in connection with the undertaking, including requirements as to the payment of interest on overdue charges.

Paragraph (1) above does not authorise the levying of ship, passenger and goods dues within the meaning of the Harbours Act 1964.

Nothing in this article shall affect the power to demand, take or recover charges which the Commissioners have under or by virtue of any enactment.

Without prejudice to any provision of this Order or any other enactment relating to the payment or recovery of charges due to the Commissioners, sections 27 to 41 and 44 to 46 of the Harbours, Docks, and Piers Clauses Act 1847 (which provide for various matters connected with liability for and collection of rates to be taken by the undertakers), as incorporated with or applied by any enactment relating to the Commissioners, apply to the charges under paragraph (1) above as if they were rates payable under that enactment.
