SSA Dwell Time Fees and Payment Methods--UPDATE

Effective 12/20 : 
In order to recover from increased operating and storage costs incurred as a result of congestion caused by containers left on the terminal for extended periods of time, the Extended Dwell Time Fee will apply on a temporary basis to all loaded import containers (steamship line rail moves excluded), in addition to existing demurrage and port tariff fees:
No charges for free time (up to seven ( 7 ) days after a container is available for delivery);
(2).      $50 per day for the next five days of storage thereafter (days 1-5 after free time);
(3).      $75 per day for the next five days of storage thereafter (days 6-10 after free time);
(4).      $100 per day for the next five days of storage thereafter (days 11-15 after free time); and
(5).      $150 per day for any days thereafter.
Applicability; Payment of Fee. Empty containers and export loaded containers will not be subject to the Extended Dwell Time Fee. The importer of record in the shipping documents will be responsible for paying or arranging payment of the Extended Dwell Time Fee by check, money order, wire transfer, or any other methods, and pursuant to instructions provided by Operator through the Forecast website. Once the fee has been paid, the container will show as available in Operator’s container tracking system. Appointments on import lanes may not be made until the fee has been paid and the container is showing as available on the Forecast web site.  Waivers, refunds and appeals of the Extended Dwell Time Fee will be handled in accordance with Section 18(D) and (E) of this Schedule.
