Ship's dues: Revenue from dues on ships, consisting of harbour, dock, quay or river conservancy dues, or some combination of these, is applied to cover the cost of services such as dredging, lighting and buoying the channel, and the maintenance of the quay berths and locks. The ship's dues are charged to shipowners or charterers on the basis of either the gross or net registered tonnage of the vessel and are usually varied in accordance with the nature of the voyage, foreign-going ships being charged at a higher rate than coasters.

In the case of (navigable rivers) the public have a right to use the river for navigation similar to the right which they have to pass along a public highway through private land, and an artificial navigable river may be dedicated as a public highway, but the analogy between a navigable river and a public highway is not complete. In the case of the soil of navigable rivers there may be also public rights incidental to the right of navigation, such as fixing moorings and anchoring. As regards the right of access, it is settled that in general a riparian owner on a navigable river has, subject to the public right of navigation, the same right of access to the river as such an owner has on a non-navigable river. (Gale on Easements, 14th ed., 1972, p. 237).
