110 Emissions from vessels to be included in Newcastle licence holder’s emissions

(1) The total emissions from vessels in Newcastle of oxides of nitrogen, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter for a levy period must be apportioned as follows between shipping premises—

(a) the premises must be divided into 3 levels as follows—

(i) level 1—shipping premises at which the annual capacity to load and unload is not more than 100,000 tonnes,

(ii) level 2—shipping premises at which the annual capacity to load and unload is more than 100,000 tonnes but not more than 500,000 tonnes,

(iii) level 3—shipping premises at which the annual capacity to load and unload is more than 500,000 tonnes,

(b) the emissions of oxides of nitrogen, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter are then to be apportioned so that—

(i) equal amounts of each type of emissions are apportioned to premises at the same level, and

(ii) level 2 shipping premises are apportioned 3.3 times as many emissions of each type as level 1 shipping premises, and

(iii) level 3 shipping premises are apportioned 9 times as many emissions of each type as level 1 shipping premises.

(2) Emissions in Newcastle from a vessel are taken not to be emissions from premises except as provided by this section.

(3) Emissions that are apportioned to premises under this section must be taken into account as part of the relevant Newcastle licence holder’s emissions and the total LGA emissions.

(4) In this section—

shipping premises mean premises in Newcastle at which the scheduled activity of shipping in bulk is authorised to be carried out.
