Empty containers that have been deemed to be ‘major damage’ by the ocean carrier’s designated maintenance vendor’s personnel or the ocean carrier’s gate labor, will be sent to an GPA designated damaged area. Containers classified with ‘major damage’ will be allowed 21 consecutive days on the terminal. If the container is not repaired for roadability or removed from the terminal within the allotted 21 days, the applicable MTO Rule 5-148 damaged equipment storage rate will apply.

The charges in this rule will be assessed in full regardless of provisions in any other agreement between the ocean carrier and GPA.
