a. Handling rates include boat trailer and/or cradle when handled with same lift.
b. GPA will not permit the lifting of boats and yachts from water if they are arriving for export.
c. GPA will, upon request, provide a crane and/or other lifting equipment, and necessary labor for the purpose of readying boats/yachts for ocean transport. This service will be provided at the sole risk of the requesting party, who is responsible for compliance with all applicable safety laws, rules, and standards. When such equipment is provided by GPA, a charge of $1,577.70, per hour, will be assessed. GPA will not provide any services related to the assembly, installation, maintenance, or packaging of boats/yachts.
d. GPA will assess a disposal charge of $1,123.25, per cradle, whenever a boat/yacht is delivered to either inland carrier or to the water. To avoid this automatic assessment, the cradle must be removed from the terminal simultaneous with the delivery out of the boat/yacht. Failure to do so will cause GPA to treat the cradle as dunnage, and it will be disposed of promptly. Assessment of the disposal charge will be to the ocean carrier if their stevedore frees the cradle or to bill-to-party on the delivery order if freed by GPA.
e. The dock receipt must indicate the boat length. If the dock receipt does not indicate the boat length, the shipper must ensure the correct boat length is added to the dock receipt. GPA will not handle the boat until the correct boat length is noted on the dock receipt.
f. If a lift is made with a GPA crane, a minimum charge of $766.40, per lift, will be assessed.
