How do they politic for more money, when their salaries are paid by private companies??
They only thing that would make sense is that they are asking to charge more money to these private companies.
the vessel owners are the ones who should be throwing a bitch fit over the prices of this service!

I do believe foreign-operated businesses/ships are required to use them. Therefore they have to pay their outrageous fees. They want to make the fees even more outrageous so those companies are griping to the state.

That's exactly what they do. All of the fees are regulated.
