From April 1, the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles will introduce new charges to cargo owners.
Apr 24,2022
Update: The Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles will start charging $10 per TEU for import and export containers hauled by trailers as they enter and exit the container terminal on April 1. ($10 for small cabinet, $40 for large cabinet)
Long Beach and Los Angeles will begin collecting a rate of US$10 per TEU on loaded import and export containers
The Clean Truck Fund (CTF) fee is an important part of the Port's efforts to achieve zero-emission trailer transportation by 2035, as it will help incentivize the conversion of haul trucks to cleaner trucks.
It will also generate up to $90 million in the first year to accelerate the development of zero-emissions technology, according to the Port of Long Beach.
Containers transported by zero-emission trucks and low-nitrogen-oxide-emission (low-NOx) trucks will initially be exempt from the CTF rate.
According to a statement, in order to obtain this exemption, all such trucks must register as low nitrogen oxide or zero emissions in the Port Hulling Truck Registry and complete a one-time vehicle confirmation check.
Both ports chose a private company PortCheck to collect CTF rates. Shippers or their agents must register in the PortCheck system to arrange payment of CTF rates prior to pick-up or discharge.
The Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach are the two largest ports in the United States, the first and second respectively, and together are the ninth largest port complex in the world. The two ports handle about 40 percent of the country's total containerized import traffic and 25 percent of its total export volume. The trade that flows through the San Pedro Bay port complex has created more than 3 million jobs across the country.
Since the initial Clean Truck program was launched in 2008, retiring older, more polluting trucks has been key to the San Pedro Bay port's access to clean air. Diesel emissions from trucks have been reduced by as much as 97 per cent compared to 2005 levels.
Trucks remain the port's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and the second largest source of nitrogen oxides, a factor in regional smog formation. Charging a clean truck fund fee will, to some extent, accelerate the achievement of the net zero emission goal.
