Haw. Code R. § 19-44-43 - Storage of stevedoring and other equipment
(a)
Stevedoring equipment of all kinds such as net slings, box slings, hand trucks,
chutes, pallets, etc., may, at the discretion of the harbor master, be stored
on state wharves. All stevedoring equipment shall be assessed storage charges
at fifty per cent of the rates specified in section
19-44-42 except that there shall be a minimum charge of $27.50 per month. Space for
continuous storage of stevedoring equipment shall be made available only if it
does not interfere with cargo handling. The amount of space which may be
devoted to storage of stevedoring equipment shall be determined by the harbor
master.
(b) Recoopered cargo and
cattle stalls shall be charged for storage space occupied at the rates
specified in section
19-44-42, effective
forty-eight hours after demurrage begins for the first 2500 tons or fraction
thereof and twenty-four hours after demurrage begins for each additional 1500
tons or fraction thereof.
(c)
Mobile equipment for handling cargo such as truck tractors, hustlers,
forklifts, straddle trucks, tractors, trailers, truck cranes, trucks, etc., may
be left idle on state property in an area designated by the harbor master;
provided that any mobile equipment shall be removed if the harbor master
determines that it interferes with cargo handling. Mobile equipment shall be
assessed for storage space occupied at fifty per cent of the rates set forth in
section
19-44-42 except that there shall be a minimum charge of $27.50 per month.
(d) Shipping devices may be stored on state
property as designated by the harbor master. The charges for the storage of
shipping devices shall be as follows:
(1)
Honolulu and Barbers Point:
(A) Per linear
foot per day for the first five calendar days - $0.13
(B) Per linear foot per day for the next five
calendar days - $0.28
(2)
Other ports:
(A) Per linear foot per day for
the first five calendar days - $0.08
(B) Per linear foot per day for the next five
calendar days - $0.17
No additional charge shall be made for double or higher stacking of containers. These charges shall apply immediately after the expiration of free time to full or empty containers and shall be followed by demurrage charges.
(e) When vessel voyage frequencies cause
unavoidable demurrage for empty containers, or when the yard is congested and
there is a large number of empty containers that causes the tracking and
retrieval of the most aged empty containers to be difficult or impractical, or
when a reserve pool of empty containers is operationally necessary, the
department may authorize a staging area of minimal dimensions to accommodate
the empty containers which should be stacked as high as possible, and each
empty container which exceeds the free time shall be assessed an empty
container staging charge on a daily basis. If a clearly defined staging area
cannot be delineated because of the large number of empty containers throughout
the yard and lack of harbor space, the department may accept a simulation or
approximation of the number of empty containers stored beyond the free time
allowance by reviewing the empty container aging analysis provided by the
shipper.
(f) The shipper shall
provide the aging information for each container or summary thereof as
requested by the department on a daily basis. Reports and payments should be
based on a daily tally for a calendar week and will be due within fifteen
working days after the week. The empty container staging charge for empty
containers stacked one high shall be the single stack rate of $0.28 per linear
foot, per empty container per day for Honolulu and Barbers Point and $0.17 per
linear foot per day for other ports where containers are stacked one high. For
empty containers stacked two high, the rate per linear foot per empty container
shall be seventy-five per cent of the single stack rate. For empty containers
stacked three or more high, the rate per linear foot per empty container shall
be fifty per cent of the single stack rate. For the purposes of this section,
empty trailer chassis shall be counted in the same manner as an empty
container. An empty container on a trailer chassis shall be counted as one
unit. The department reserves the right, upon prior written notice, to cancel,
waive, reject, or otherwise adjust the discounted demurrage rate reflected in
this empty container staging charge when it has been determined that a shipper
has submitted false or misleading information or engaged in other improper
conduct that results in the shipper being assessed the empty container staging
charge.
(g) Stevedoring equipment
utilized in the handling of cargo, such as high lifts, cranes, forklifts, etc.,
for which storage arrangements have not been made shall not be permitted on
state property until forty-eight hours prior to the arrival of the ship for
which the equipment will be utilized. Removal of this equipment from state
property shall be made within forty-eight hours after discharge of cargo unless
an extension of time is authorized by the harbor master.
(h) Automobiles and trucks under 6,500
pounds, in shipping devices or otherwise may be stored on state property as
designated by the harbor master. The following storage charges are daily rates
and apply to all automobiles and trucks whether or not they are contained in a
container. The storage charges shall be as follows:
(1) Honolulu and Barbers Point:
(A) Per unit per day for a five calendar day
limit - $6.88
(2) Other
ports:
(A) Per unit per day for a five
calendar day limit - $6.88 These storage charges shall apply immediately after
the expiration of free time and shall be followed by demurrage
charges.
(i)
Commercial fishing vessels calling at Honolulu Harbor may, with prior
permission of the department, off-load their nets for repair or to reduce
draft. No charges will be assessed for such storage for the first forty-eight
hours in any fifteen-day period. Periods longer than forty-eight hours will be
assessed a daily storage rate of $.008 per square foot per day.
