Ports of LA and Long Beach keep Container Dwell Fee on hold

The ports of Los Angeles (LA) and Long Beach will delay consideration of the Container Dwell Fee until January 10 as the amount of aging cargo on the docks declines.

Although the ports have recorded a 35% decline in aging cargo on the docks since the programme was announced on October 25, 2021, year-end holidays have, as expected, slowed the progress compared to previous weeks.

The executive directors of both ports will reassess fee implementation after monitoring data over the next week.
