28 Miss. Code. R. § 1-02-116 - BERTH CONGESTION

Berthing facilities of the Mississippi State Port Authority are assigned as applications are accepted from agents, masters and/or owners of vessels. When assigned berth is declared by the Port Authority to be congested, or threatened with congestion, agents, masters and/or owners may be required to work the vessel continuously to completion with overtime for vessel's account.

Any vessel in berth which refuses to work continuously to completion shall vacate the berth immediately (within three hours) upon receiving instructions from the Port Authority.

Should a vessel lose its berth assignment by refusing to work continuously to completion, such a vessel will forfeit its turn at the berth assigned and go to the bottom of the list of vessels awaiting berth assignment.

Should any vessel fail to vacate the berth facility as provided herein, the Port Authority shall have the right, authority and privilege to move or cause such vessel to be moved from its berth at the vessel's sole risk and expense.
