§ 6305 Port And Transportation Rates

This law lets the agency set and collect fees for using things like docks, warehouses, ships, railroads and other transport facilities, as well as for pilot and tow services.

Key Takeaways

  • •The agency can set the price for using any transport‑related facility it controls.
  • •It can also set prices for pilot services (helping ships steer) and tow services (pulling ships).
  • •The agency is allowed to collect the fees it sets.

Example

A trucking company brings a load to a port and uses the dock, a warehouse, and a tugboat to move the cargo.

Because of this law, the port authority can decide how much to charge the company for the dock space, the warehouse storage, and the tugboat help, and it can collect those payments.
