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 either stuffed in, or onto a container, flatrack or platform, and loaded aboard a vessel.

Storage will be assessed on a calendar month basis using the rates in Rule 34-365 thru 34-425.

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. On cargo which is unloaded from containers by the Authority, the storage calculation and terminal free time is based upon the first 7:00 AM after the container is unloaded. After terminal free time expires, if the first billable storage period is 15 consecutive calendar days or less, the Authority 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. On cargo which is loaded into containers by the Authority, the storage calculation and terminal free time is based upon the first 7:00 AM after the cargo is received and the date the container is loaded. After free time expires, if the first billable storage period is 15 consecutive calendar days or less, the Authority 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): The Authority 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, the Authority reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to (1) Require the cargo to be removed from the Authority’s facilities within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Authority. If said cargo is not removed as required after thirty (30) days of written receipt from the Authority, the Authority 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 the Authority’s terminals. Prior to the assessment of these higher rates, the Authority 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 Authority reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to place cargo at an outside point of rest, if inside storage space is not available.
