PierPass Traffic Mitigation Fee

The West Coast Marine Terminal Operator Agreement (WCMTOA) announced an increase of 2.3 percent in the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2017.

 

The TMF will increase from $69.17 to $72.09 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) or $138.34 to $144.18 per forty-foot container. The increase will sustain continued operation of PierPass OffPeak gates amid labor cost increases.
