Furthermore, it is imperative to acknowledge that the Authority will also levy relevant storage charges in accordance with the guidelines delineated in MTOS 5-A, specifically as outlined within Rules 34-365 through 34-425.  Any supplementary charges applicable as per the terms enshrined in the CUA Agreement will also be enforced by the Authority.
