Biden administration working to solve problems

[VitaMan]

A short time ago there was a thread about the congestion at many of the nations seaports. Being written by a Biden basher, of course there was a long diatribe blaming it on the Biden administration, even though the problem has existed for years, and the current administration has been in office less than one year.

The Biden administration has been working to lessen the problem. Here is another step.


West Coast Container Excess Dwell Fee


The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have implemented a new "Container Excess Dwell Fee," payable by ocean carriers.


This initiative was developed by the Ports in coordination with the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, U.S. Department of Transportation, and multiple supply chain stakeholders. The Container Excess Dwell Fee starts November 1, 2021, with penalties to be assessed no earlier than November 15 to facilitate the easing of unprecedented port congestion.


The Port Authorities will charge ocean carriers for each container that falls into one of two categories.


For containers scheduled to move off the wharf terminal by truck, the fee applies to every container dwelling nine days or more.


For containers moving off the wharf terminal by rail, the fee applies if the container has dwelled for six days or more.


The fee per container will be USD$100 on the first day past the dwell limit, escalating and compounding by USD $100 increments for each subsequent day.


There are no exemptions.

Additionally, two terminals in the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) of Seattle and Tacoma have announced they will also begin implementing an excess dwell time surcharge.


Husky Terminal and Stevedoring in Tacoma, WA, implemented a $315 fee on local-delivery import loads that remain at the facility for more than 15 days.


Washington United Terminal in Tacoma, WA, announced by mid November they will begin imposing a $315 "long-stay rehandling charge" on containers that have dwelled at the facility for more than 15 calendar days.

There is nothing that old, senile, stupid, inept, corrupt piece of shit can do to rectify the mayhem he has caused.

Go sell this horseshit somewhere else.

This is from the port and harbor trade pages. If you research it you will find plenty of news about it.

This thread will be closed if it continues onto a second page.

You're gonna have to explain how adding an additional layer of unnecessary bureaucracy somehow helps this ONE ISSUE (among over a dozen this administration is inept to handle)?
Demurrage fees already fucking exist. It isn't like these containers aren't on the clock the minute they arrive at port and are stacked. Its in nobody's interest that goods just sit and be warehoused at a port.

If you're reading this out of some Stevedore / Customs trade publication it will surely explain how this is supposed to accomplish anything. If it doesn't, its because its a direct Pravda press release meant for the target audience


The "pandemic" hysteria is what is behind all of the ills of the American economy in the shitter. Whether it was purposed for this or not, it most certainly was the fastest way to sabotage every small business and consolidate power to the few big dogs.
Fining shipper's for their containers not being dropped shipped at the port is the idea someone with no clue of a situation would propose, kind of like the California congress woman who is pushing a bill to ban loitering in the Bay to unload shipments.

Its the solution of a child

Biden is a dipshit. Even more than H I M is a dipshit. Like more government mandates is what we need. Ya'll will regret this. I will not allow this thread to progress over 2 pages.

This is a warning to OP.

This isn't an accomplishment...unless you consider more gumment bureaucracy a good thing. BRANDON creates a problem then levys a fee...

SAY WHAT? The guy who is quick to point to a "source" he thinks is bias, is going to try and convince us that a union produced news letter is an un-biased source of factual information? Have you ever been involved with a union because I was for 34 years and every business related entity is going to produce something favorable to their point of view or they wouldn't be saying anything.


Good grief man, you couldn't have shown yourself to be more biased and gullible than you just did. Union trade pages indeed.


To bad you didn't produce these trade pages so that what is written could be debated but that isn't your thing now is it.
