(A) Application for a berth must be made to and approved by the Port before docking a vessel at a marine terminal or facility at the Port of Redwood City.

(1) Application for a berth (Port form provided) should be made as far in advance as possible, but not less than 72 hours before the vessel's arrival. In an emergency, if the berth is available, the Port Manager may waive this time requirement.

(B) The Port schedules berthing considering the availability of the terminals and facilities.

(1) A vessel failing to arrive at a scheduled time may lose her turn on berth, and a new application for berthing will be required. Vessel agents are required to promptly advise the Port of any change in a vessel's estimated time of arrival (E.T.A).

(C) The Port of Redwood City reserves the right for the Port Manager to require a vessel at a berth to work at her expense a minimum of two 8 hour shifts per day on all hatches possible.

(D) The Port of Redwood City reserves the right, exercisable by written order of the Port Manager, to require a vessel to shift her position or vacate a berth with all expenses incurred and all risks of damage for the account of the vessel.

(1) Failure to comply with the order given in part (D) will subject the vessel to a dockage charge of $200.00 per hour in addition to dockage charges specified in this section.

(2) This added dockage charge will commence at the time specified in the written orders given to the master or other officer of the vessel and will continue until the orders are complied with by moving the vessel as required.

(3) If the vessel is not self-propelled and the owner, operator or charterer fails to comply with the Port's order, the Port Manager may have the vessel shifted or removed from the berth by tugboat with all expenses incurred and all risks of damage for the account of the vessel. (Subject to Item 114 herein).

(e) Vessels not engaged in loading or discharging cargo will be berthed only with the clear understanding that:

(1) The vessel will shift position or leave the berth when requested to do so by the Port.

(2) The vessel refusing to move as requested may be shifted by tugboat or otherwise by the Port and all expenses for the move and any damage to the vessel, wharf or other property will be for the account of the vessel so moved. (Subject to Item 114 herein)

 

Dockage is the charge assessed against a vessel for berthing at a wharf, pier, bulkhead structure, or bank, or for mooring to a vessel so berthed.

Dockage applies to all vessels using the facilities of the Port of Redwood City at the full dockage rates stated in Item 230, except for exemptions given in Item 210. This charge is in addition to all other tariff provisions.

(A) At the discretion of the Port Manager, dockage charges may be temporarily waived for combat, training or survey vessels of the United States, similar vessels of another nation, or survey vessels of the State of California.

(B) Dockage charges for barges, lighters and tugs employed within the Port of Redwood City may be negotiated on a monthly basis upon application to the Port.

(C) A vessel charged for or having paid dockage for a period of 24 hours may use the same or another assigned berth during that period without additional dockage charge, regardless of how many times she may leave and return.

(D) The Port may enter into a contract with reference to dockage for vessels or lighters not under F.M.C. jurisdiction and not engaged in waterway trades (Item 106). In absence of such contact, the rates in this section shall apply.

(E) One half of the 24 hour dockage charge per day will apply to a vessel berthed offshore to a vessel that is paying full dockage.

(F) Vessels on regular daily schedules leaving from and returning to a berth in the Port will be assessed only one full day's dockage in any 24 hour period.

(A) Dockage is based on the overall length of the vessel (L.O.A.) and the period of time on berth.

(1) Vessel's length given in meters, in Lloyds' Register and/or the Certificate of registry will be used. If the length is not shown in these documents, the Port will measure the vessel's linear distance from the extreme point of the bow to the extreme point of the stern.

(2) The period of time, for which dockage is assessed, starts when the vessel is made fast to a wharf, bulkhead structure, bank or to another vessel so berthed, and continues until the vessel is freed from moorings and vacates the berth.

(B) In computing dockage charges, use the table of lengths and rates per 24 hour period shown in Item 220.

(C) A full day's dockage is charged for each 24 hours or fraction thereof.

(1) If a vessel's status changes within a 24 hour period, the dockage charge for that period will be the higher of either status.

Dockage charges are due and payable upon presentation, and payment must be made before the vessel departs the facility unless the vessel's owner(s) or agent has (have) arranged with the Port for payment. (See Item 104)
