The parts of LA and Long Beach said they have seen a combined decline of 92% in aging cargo on docks.
Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka added, in a statement, "I said when we launched this program that I hoped we would never collect a dime because that would mean that containers were moving off our docks. And that's exactly what occurred. I'm grateful to the cargo owners and all our waterfront workers for all their successful efforts to improve the efficiency of our operations.
The fines -- had they been implemented -- would have begun at $100 per container, increasing by $100 per container each day. Containers set to be transported by truck and rail would have incurred fines if cargo remained in port for nine days or more. But in numerous periodic announcements since October 2021, the ports repeatedly postponed implementing the fees, before Friday saying the fees will end altogether next month.The fee policy had been developed in coordination with the Biden- Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Port of Long Beach and supply chain stakeholders.
