On November 11, 2016, the Ministry of Finance of Vietnam issued Circular 234/2016/TT-BTC stipulating the service prices for inspection of technical safety and quality of ships, offshore structures; industrial products installed on ships, offshore structures; assessment, certification of safety management systems and approval, inspection, evaluation, and certification of maritime labor.
The number of unit prices according to the time of performing the inspection work (DVGTG) is determined by the formula:
DVGTG = 400 x k.
Where:
- 400: The number of unit prices calculated for one time of performing the inspection work;
- Ships classified by the Vietnam Register, coefficient k = 1;
- Ships classified by foreign registers, coefficient k = 1.5;
- Offshore structures, coefficient k = 2.5.
Also according to Circular 234/2016/TT-BTC, the value of a unit price (α) is determined as follows:
- For ships under the supervision of the Vietnam Register: α = 1,700 VND.
- For ships flying the Vietnamese flag or foreign flags classified by foreign registers, and offshore structures under the supervision of the Vietnam Register: α = 0.50 US Dollar.
Relevant provisions can be found in Circular 234/2016/TT-BTC effective from January 01, 2017.
