Port Authority of Guam Tariff Increases
As many of you are aware, planning efforts to modernize Guam's port facilities have been underway over the past few years. The Port Authority of Guam’s (PAG) request for tariff increases has been approved by the Guam Public Utilities Commission, including the following:
• PAG is authorized to implement a facility maintenance fee of $25 for each bill of lading. Included in the policy will be a provision to allow shippers who frequently ship items below the $2500 threshold to be exempt from the fee. This surcharge applies to inbound and outbound cargo consigned to or transshipping over the Port of Guam terminal facility.
• PAG is awarded a 3.4% increase in cargo handling charges (including labor charge) effective February 1, 2010
The $25 per bill of lading facility maintenance fee will affect Guam, CNMI, Palau, FSM and Marshall Islands, and be effective on May 16, 2010. Accordingly, our full containerload rates will increase $25 per containerload, and our less than containerload rates out of Oakland, Seattle and Honolulu will include a $.03 (3 cent) increase in wharfage as a pass through cost. These changes will be effective with sailings on or after May 16, 2010.
The 3.4% increase in cargo handling charges will be deferred until further notice.
