New Orleans Dock Board Lowers Cost and Rates
New Orleans February 21 The Port of New Orleans Commission approves March 11 a change for small cargo vessels handling 50 tons or less. These ships get two days for cargo accumulation and pay the passenger dockage rate of one cent per gross ton per day, with shed hire and dockage at two and a half cents per hundred pounds. If over two days or over 500 tons, standard gross tonnage tariffs apply. This targets small fast freight and aids movement of consignments. Legislators are usually free spenders, it isn't their money.
