WAC 468-300-220   Calculation of charter rates for vessels owned by the Washington state ferry system.   Pursuant to chapter 323, Laws of 1997, vessels owned by the Washington state ferry system may be made available for charter subject to operational availability. Execution of a charter agreement as set forth in the statute must precede a commitment to charter. The following actual hourly vessel operating costs have been calculated for establishing the rates to be charged for vessel charters from July 1, ((2002)) 2004, through June 30, ((2003)) 2005:


Vessel Class Deck Crew

On Overtime

 Deck Crew

On Straight Time
Jumbo Mark II $ ((1,077.29)) 1,191.00 $ ((895.07)) 1,019.00
Jumbo ((1,037.39)) 1,151.00 ((868.24)) 991.00
Super ((999.22)) 1,102.00 ((835.96)) 949.00
Evergreen ((775.62)) 822.00 ((640.56)) 695.00
Issaquah ((810.73)) 871.00 ((675.67)) 743.00
Steel ((649.13)) 687.00 ((542.27)) 586.00

Passenger Only 521.78 445.57
Passenger Only Fast Ferry 595.00 516.34

     The rate for an individual charter will be calculated by:

     (1) Multiplying the actual operating cost set forth above for the vessel that is chartered by the number of hours, or fraction thereof, for which the vessel is chartered;

     (2) Adding labor costs, mileage and per diem expenses to determine the total actual costs if the particular charter requires a crew callout; and

     (3) Increasing the total actual costs calculated pursuant to subsections (1) and (2) of this section by an appropriate profit margin based on market conditions, and rounding to the nearest fifty dollars.

     In the case of charters for the transport of hazardous materials, the transporter is required to pay for all legs necessary to complete the charter, even if the vessel is simultaneously engaged in an operational voyage on behalf of the Washington state ferry system.
