Haw. Code R. § 19-44-63 - Wharfage computation
(a) Wharfage
charges include all applicable fees and surcharges, including any facilities
security charges, as set forth in section
19-44-66 and
subject to incremental increases as set forth in section
19-44-73.
In the computation of wharfage, the term "ton" shall be applied, either by
weight or volume as used by the respective carrier for its computation of
freight charges (i.e., as freighted) computed to the nearest ton when minimum
package rates do not apply. When freight charges are based upon other than
weight or volume, such as in the case of contract haul, or if there are no
indicated freight charges, tonnage shall be computed by either weight or
volume, whichever yields the greater wharfage revenue to the State.
(b) When a vessel unloads cargo at a wharf
for emergency purposes and reloads the cargo thereafter at the same wharf,
wharfage shall be charged only for the unloading of the cargo and no wharfage
shall be assessed for its reloading.
(c) Computation of wharfage for cargo
contained in a container other than a shipping device shall include the weight,
volume, or measurement of the container. Wharfage on an empty container shall
be assessed as provided in this subchapter.
(d) Computation of wharfage for a unit load
shall be on the basis of the overall length of the shipping device or its cargo
whichever is greater, per linear foot, without regard to contents, except for
passenger autos or explosives. When the entire unit load does not conform to
the specified dimensions and weight, wharfage shall be assessed on the contents
of a shipping device or overall length of unit load, whichever produces the
greater revenue to the department.
