port congestion: more positive action by the Biden administration

[VitaMan]

Temporary Adjustment of the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach

On November 10, 2021, The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) announced that the Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will be temporarily adjusted from December 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022, subject to regulatory clearance by the Federal Maritime Commission. During this period, there will be a financial incentive to move containers during off-peak hours by charging a TMF during peak hours. The announcement makes no changes to the appointment systems operated by individual terminals.
　
The adjustment comes at the request of the Port Envoy to the Biden-Harris Administration Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, as well as the Executive Directors of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as part of a collaborative effort to incentivize increased use of marine terminal gates during off-peak hours. The action is part of an overall effort to expand the use of warehouses, distribution centers, and trucking during the second and third shifts for the final push of holiday goods in December and into January leading to Lunar New Year.　

From December 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022, the TMF will be $78.23 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) or $156.46 for all other sizes of container for non-exempt international container moves through the terminals at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:59 p.m. Monday through Friday.


And no....this does not come from a union newsletter or publication

"No changes to the appointment systems"?
Amusing as that runs everything.

On a related issue, I wonder how many containers are going to be abandoned on dock cause the contents are now worthless due to delays and the new handling fees will just encourage additional abandonments.

One of my guys is lucky. All but three of his xmas containers already arrived. Of the three, ones on a train, one is on dock somewhere, and last is still floating and that's already been written off.

It is a fact sheet, not an opinion piece.


Unfortunately a lot of right wingers can't tell the difference between FACTS and opinions.
Every fact that is unfavorable to them gets processed in their minds as Fake news.

[Strokey_McDingDong]
