global logistics alert

Alert Message:

Logistics Plus would like to inform you of an upcoming change to our Pier Pass Fee due to a change in charges regulated by the marine container terminals at the Port of Long Beach and Los Angeles.

The West Coast MTO Agreement (WCMTOA) announced on August 1st, 2024, that on September 1, 2024, the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will increase by 6%. The adjustment matches the combined 6% increase in longshore wage and assessment rates recently ratified in the coastwide contract between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association.

Beginning September 1, 2024, the TMF will be $37.71 per TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) or $75.42 per forty-foot container. The TMF is charged on non-exempt containers. Containers exempt from the TMF include empty containers; import cargo or export cargo that transits the Alameda Corridor in a container and is subject to a fee imposed by the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority; and transshipment cargo. Empty chassis and bobtail trucks are also exempt.

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for doing business with us. Please contact your local sales or customer service representative if you have any questions.
