The storage charges on breakbulk and roro cargo stated in this schedule are for each calendar month or a fractional part thereof, unless otherwise indicated. Storage on export cargo will cease to accrue when cargo is loaded aboard a vessel.

Storage will be assessed on a calendar month basis using the rates in Rules 6-181 through 6-188

On imported breakbulk and roro cargo, the storage calculation and terminal free time is based upon the first 7:00 AM after the departure date of the vessel, and the actual date such cargo departs the terminal. After terminal free time expires, if the first billable storage period is 15 consecutive calendar days or less, GPA will assess one-half of the first month’s storage rate. If the first billable storage period is more than 15 consecutive calendar days, the full storage rate will apply.

On exported breakbulk and roro cargo, the storage calculation and terminal free time is based upon the first 7:00 AM after cargo receipt. After free time expires, if the first billable storage period is 15 consecutive calendar days or less, GPA will assess one-half of the first month’s storage rate. If the first billable storage period is more than 15 consecutive calendar days the full storage rate will apply.

Note 1: GPA shall not be used for long-term storage, which is defined as more than twelve (12) calendar months, including all allowable free time. Thus, when any cargo is in storage for more than twelve (12) calendar months, GPA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to (1) Require the cargo to be removed from GPA facilities within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the GPA. If said cargo is not removed as required after thirty (30) days of written receipt from GPA, GPA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to remove said cargo from its facilities at the expense and risk of the cargo owner, or; (2) Assess substantially higher rates than those provided herein until said cargo is removed from GPA terminals. Prior to the assessment of these higher rates, GPA will notify the cargo owner or its designated agent of the new rate levels.

Note 2: Re-shipped cargo will be billed based on the effective rates in this Schedule when the said cargo is re-shipped.

Note 3: The GPA reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to place cargo at an outside point of rest, if inside storage space is not available.
