The fees for the emergency pumping services permitted by Section 3.22.150 are $200 per hour. The owner, owner’s agent, or master of the vessel requesting the nonfire emergency pumping service must be advised that the pumping fee is $200 per hour before a fire boat is dispatched to the emergency location. The fire boat officer, on arrival, must obtain written agreement from the owner, owner’s agent or master of the vessel in peril to pay the City $200 per hour for salvage pumping before beginning operations. When the service of the fire boat is completed, the Chief of

Portland Fire & Rescue will certify to the City Administrator the exact time employed by the fire boat, and the City Administrator will then make a final charge for such service and require payment of such charge by the applicant. In the event salvage efforts fail, and if so recommended by the Chief of the Bureau, the City Administrator may reduce or omit the pumping fee.
