For the performance and the communication to the public by telecommunication in a passenger ship, by means of recorded music, at any time and as often as desired in the years 2023 to 2025, of any or all of the works in SOCAN’s repertoire, the royalty payable for each passenger ship is as follows:

For passenger ships operating for less than 12 months in each year, the royalty payable shall be reduced by one twelfth for each full month during the year in which no operations occur.

On or before January 31 of the year covered by the tariff, the user shall report the authorized passenger capacity and pay the applicable royalty to SOCAN.

SOCAN shall have the right to audit the user’s books and records, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to verify the statements rendered and the royalty payable by the user.
