2026 tariffs
For 2026, the regulated fee increase is 4.6%, made up of the September RPI figure of 2.8% plus the 1.8% uplift already set by the JCRA.
It’s important to stress that commercial fishers remain fully protected. Their mooring fees continue to be frozen at 2022 levels, with no increases applied.
Other exemptions also remain in place where pre-existing contractual or property agreements apply, and Airport parking fees continue to be unchanged.
This year’s adjustment supports our long-term programme of investment across the Harbour and Airport. All revenue generated is reinvested directly back into Jersey’s critical infrastructure to ensure reliability, safety and resilience for the Island.
