Los Angeles/Long Beach Port Emergency Surcharge
We have been informed by the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles that the Container Dwell Fee remains on hold by the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, this time until December 6, 2021. This is due to the progress made in clearing the containers out of the Ports.
For more information, please visit https://polb.com/port-info/news-and-press/container-dwell-fee-remains-on-hold-until-dec-6-11-29-2021/.
DGX is working diligently to avoid or at the very least minimize the impact of this new surcharge to our customers by facilitating cargo movement as it is made available by the port terminals.
We will provide updates as new information is released. Please contact your DGX Representative for more details.
