droits de port
port/harbour/docking fees/charges/dues


Explanation:
If typos involving pleonastic e's can be presumed (as in 'bienes et services'), we're talking about user fees for the privilege of docking in the port, not customs duties on goods entering the country.

See iate.europa.eu on 'droits de port'.
