Putting shipping companies out of business is a great way to run a port. /s

Tax the crap out of that. That will get the containers to grow legs and walk out of the port.

It’s worked with how many million citizens….

Do the ocean carriers have any control over how long empty cargo containers sit around? I seriously doubt they want to hang around any longer than they need to.

Hey, shippers, send me a couple of 20-footers if you don’t want to pay fees on them. None of your old rusty junk, though.

I guess the fees are in line with a similar fee mandeted by feckless Lesgo Brandon

$100 a day per container and increasing by $100 a day for each container.

For a 20,000 equivalent container ship....its more profitable to go through the Panama Canal and unload in Miami.

“The fee will be similar to the import container dwell fee announced in late October, which has yet to be implemented.”

kinda like gun laws, they don’t work, so lets make MORE!!!
