The agreement applies to recreational boats at municipal dock/marina. The municipality has the right to direct the user to another municipal boat slip if the municipality deems this necessary. Boats used for commercial/professional activities are not covered by the agreement and may therefore not use the boat slip without special permission from the municipality.
The agreement is valid from the grant date until December 31st of the agreement year, unless terminated early by either party. The usage period is from April 1st of the agreement year through November 30th of the agreement year.
The agreement may be terminated by either party. The user terminates the agreement digitally by logging into their account at: batplatser.karlskrona.se. The agreement ceases to be valid from when termination is registered.
Fees for recreational boat slips are charged according to a rate established by Karlskrona Municipality, based on boat slip width and boom length with additional charges for water and electricity if available. For boat slips with buoy, the fee is based on boat slip width with additional charges for water and electricity if available. The user is personally responsible for ensuring the buoy exists and is in good condition. The fee is based per calendar year but the usage right for the boat slip is valid from April 1st through November 30th. The fee is invoiced in advance.
All forms of subletting, transfer, or lending of the boat slip in private capacity are prohibited. If it comes to the municipality's knowledge that subletting, transfer, or lending has occurred, the user's boat slip will be terminated with immediate effect, and the paid boat slip fee will not be refunded.
The user is obligated to always ensure that the boat is well moored and, where applicable, is also equipped with fenders or other devices to prevent damage to adjacent boats, docks, booms, buoys, or other property. Covering/other mounting on boom, or loose objects on the dock, are prohibited. Mooring devices, ropes, and similar must after each boat season, and upon termination, be removed by the user from dock, buoy, or boom.
It is incumbent upon the user to ensure that the boat is not wider than to have a distance between boat and boom of at least five cm on each side. If the boat is moored at a boom, the municipality's guidelines for booms must be followed, these are published on the municipality's website. The municipality has the right to prohibit the user from using the boat slip if the above commitments are not observed. Under such circumstances, the municipality has no obligation to offer the user a replacement slip.
Boats that the municipality deems unseaworthy or abandoned may be moved by the municipality at the user's expense and responsibility. This is to prevent damage to the environment, dock, facility, or adjacent boats.
The municipality is responsible for ensuring that mooring equipment at dock or quay is in good condition. In cases where the municipality has equipped the boat slip with a boom, the municipality is also responsible for ensuring it is in good condition. For boat slips with buoy, the user is responsible for ensuring the buoy exists and is in good condition. Good condition means that one's own and others' property cannot be damaged.
For boat slips with electrical connection, the user has the right to temporarily use the electrical outlet available at the boat slip. However, the user may not connect to electricity for longer than 24 hours consecutively, nor may electric heating or cooling units be connected, unless a fee has been paid for this. Fresh water at dock or adjacent to boat slip is available during frost-free periods during boat season. What constitutes frost-free period is determined by Water/Harbor Department personnel.
The user shall, without request, report changes to contact information such as email address, phone number, or address via the municipality's website or to the handler of the boat slip register at the Water/Harbor Department. This information forms the basis for future payment according to point 14.
It is of particular importance to the municipality that the user does not violate what is stated under points 5, 6, and 8. The parties therefore agree that in the event the user neglects their obligations under these provisions, the usage right may be forfeited and the municipality has the right to terminate the agreement. Such termination shall be made through written notice. The user shall compensate the municipality for all damage and costs that arise as a result of the neglect.
Upon termination of the agreement, the user is obligated to leave the boat slip in clean and original condition, and in the event that boat or other property has not been removed from the boat slip after the agreement's termination, the municipality has the right to move these at the user's expense. This agreement does not include any possession protection and the user has no right to compensation due to the termination of the lease.
The fee is based on the rate applicable at any given time. When the invoice for the fee has arrived, you have 30 days to pay the invoice.
Disputes regarding interpretations of this agreement or other legal relationships arising from this contractual relationship shall, if negotiations do not lead to agreement, be resolved by Swedish general court with Blekinge District Court as the first instance.
