SAN PEDRO — The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach as of March 4, will again keep the “Container Dwell Fee” on hold until March 11, as the ports continue to monitor progress in clearing import containers from their terminals.
The two San Pedro Bay ports have seen a combined decline of 64% in aging cargo on the docks since the program was announced on Oct. 25.
The executive directors of both ports will reassess fee implementation after monitoring data over the next week. Fee implementation has been postponed by both ports since the start of the program.
Under the temporary policy, ocean carriers can be charged for each import container dwelling nine days or more at the terminal. Currently, no date has been set to start the count with respect to container dwell time.
SAN PEDRO — The public is invited to comment on a draft 2021 feasibility assessment of emerging cargo-handling equipment technology that will help the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach reduce air pollution and reach the ambitious zero-emissions goals adopted in the 2017 Clean Air Action Plan Update.
The draft 2021 assessment, which builds upon the inaugural 2018 assessment, examines the state of technology, operational characteristics, economic considerations, infrastructure availability and commercial readiness relating to cleaner cargo-handling equipment.
The draft feasibility assessment for cargo-handling equipment is available on the Clean Air Action Plan website, posted here.
Comments will be accepted through March 31, and can be emailed to caap@cleanairactionplan.org.
The CAAP has established goals of zero-emissions terminal equipment by 2030 and zero-emissions trucks by 2035. As part of this strategy, the ports develop feasibility assessments every three years for terminal equipment and drayage trucks to determine a path toward meeting those goals.
