The Port of Los Angeles Harbor Commission voted 5-0 to extend a “Container Excess Dwell Fee” program directed at ocean carriers in a continued effort to improve cargo movement on container terminals until April 29. The Commission also amended the fee so that an import container moving by truck or rail can be charged the fee after nine days. Previously, containers bound for rail were subject to a fee after six days.
Under the updated policy, the Port of Los Angeles has the authority to charge ocean carriers for each loaded import container dwelling nine days or more. The port may charge ocean carriers $100 per container, increasing in $100 increments per container per day until the container leaves the terminal.
