The @harbortruckers noted in their rebuttal to the Hyper-Demurrage fee that the issue not addressed was the accumulation of empty containers in yard. They proposed a similar fee or the ocean carriers to clear the backlog.
SHOCKINGLY, this was not enacted on!

After the public comments, it was a commissioner who had to ask the port director to comment on the issue of containers.
What is needed is for the carriers to send in sweepers to clear ports. Australia has called for this to rid empties on their docks.

HOLY COW! So the executive director of the @PortofLA is asked if this Hyper-Demurrage is going to be charged to empties on the terminal, and how many empties they have currently.
The answer, is no on the charge and they don't have that number or lay time.
