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, 2011, through June 30, 2012:
Vessel Class

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.
