Question

Who can lease a port area?

The Port Act stipulates that the port’s funds may only be used for purposes that specifically serve the port’s interests (Section 9, paragraph 4). This means that it is the responsibility of the municipal council and the port board to safeguard the port’s interests.

The port’s land must be used for port-related activities. If the land cannot be leased for these activities, the port may lease it for other purposes. Leasing must be done on market terms.
