THE Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB) have again postponed the implementation date for their ocean carrier Container Dwell Fee, which will now not be considered until March 25.
This follows previous joint announcements by POLA and POLB, whom collectively account for roughly 40 per cent of United States-bound import volumes, indicating that consideration of the fee would be pushed back each week going back to November 22.
Going back to when the fee was initially rolled out on October 25, POLA and POLB said that the ports have seen a cumulative 62 per cent decline in the amount of aging cargo on their docks, a tally which has trended up going back to the initial announcement
