Income from pilotage fees and safety fees (sector fees) normally cover the majority of the costs of the Norwegian pilotage service and Vessel Traffic Services.

The change in safety fees varies in the various Vessel Traffic Service areas. The different increase is due to individual VTS fee rates and different traffic volumes and changes in traffic in the VTS areas.
