# The Port of London Authority Harbour Revision Order 1999, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The Order extends the limits of the Port of London to include an area which had previously been excluded from those limits because prior to 1987 it had been outside the territorial waters of the United Kingdom. It also allows the Port of London Authority to charge river duties of tonnage on shipping passing through the limits of the Port of London on a voyage between the river Medway and a place outside those limits.
