The fee never actually went into effect, with both ports repeatedly delaying its implementation, citing voluntary compliance.
With backlogs of aging cargo on local docks now significantly eased, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will end the Container Dwell Fee on Jan. 24, officials announced on Friday, Dec. 26.
But the fee never went into effect. Shippers were able to more quickly move their long-dwelling cargo off the docks, so the ports repeatedly delayed implementing the fee, citing voluntary compliance. “This fee was conceived as an incentive to ease congestion, keeping imported goods flowing to stores across America,” Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero said in a statement. “Measured by this standard, we can all appreciate the policy’s success, and best of all, the fee was never implemented.
