SECTION II - DOCKAGE RULES AND REGULATIONS
DEFINITION OF DOCKAGE |
||
|
Issued: 10/1/83 |
Effective: 10/1/83 |
Item: 280 |
|
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. |
||
BASIS FOR COMPUTING DOCKAGE CHARGES |
||
|
Issued: 10/1/83 |
Effective: 10/1/83 |
Item: 285 |
|
(1) |
Dockage shall be based on the overall length of the vessel as shown in Lloyd's Register. If length is not shown in Lloyd's Register, the ship's Certificate of Registry showing length of vessel will be accepted. |
|
|
(2) |
Vessels for which the overall length is not available in either Lloyd's Register or the Certificate of Registry named in paragraph (1) of this Item, shall be measured at the direction of the Port Director. When necessary to measure a vessel, the linear distance in feet shall be determined from the most forward point on the bow of the vessel to the aftermost part of the stern of the vessel, measured as parallel to the base line of the vessel. |
|
|
(3) |
In computing dockage charges based on overall length of vessel, the following will govern in the disposition of fractions: Less than one-half (.5) meters, discard. One-half (.5) meters or more, increase to the next whole figure. |
|
|
(4) |
Dockage rates are per 24 hour day, or fraction thereof |
|
|
(5) |
When a vessel changes its position from an outside berth to an inside berth, or vice-versa, or otherwise changes its status so that it would be liable to pay dockage at a different dockage rate, the dockage due under the changed status shall be assessed from the time such change takes effect; provided, however, that where the change in status occurs within a 24 hour period, the total charge for said 24 hour period shall be the higher dockage of either status. |
|
|
(6) |
Vessels on regular daily schedules leaving from and returning to the wharf shall not be assessed more than one full day's dockage in any 24 hour period. |
|
DOCKAGE PERIOD |
||
|
Issued: 12/6/91 |
Effective: 1/6/92 |
Item: 290 |
|
(a) |
Dockage shall commence upon a vessel when made fast to a wharf, pier, seawall structure or bank, or mooring to a vessel so berthed, and shall continue until such vessel is completely freed from and has vacated the berth. |
|
|
(b) |
No deductions shall be made for Sundays, Holidays, or on account of weather conditions. |
|
|
(c) |
To encourage more daytime transits of the Stockton Ship Channel, vessels arriving prior to 2200 hours which commence cargo operations the following day shall be granted free dockage for either the period of time between their arrival and the start of cargo operations, or 0800 hours, whichever occurs first. |
|

|
Issued: 5/23/05 |
Effective: 5/23/05 |

|
(a) |

|
|
(b) |
One-half of the full dockage shall be assessed against all vessels, except inland waterway vessels, when berthed off shore of a vessel that is paying full dockage. |
|
|
(c) |
Application of Increased Dockage Rates. Where the vessel berths prior to
12:00 o'clock midnight preceding the effective date of an increase in rates, dockage
for the first 24 hours shall be computed at the rate in effect prior to the
increase. The rate to be applied thereafter shall be the increased full or
half dockage rate. In the case of a vessel relinquishing its berth after |
|
|
(d) |
Ocean carriers calling at port wharves on a monthly basis under a marine terminal services agreement shall receive a 20% discount off the full dockage rates in Item 315. |
|
|
(e) |
Ocean carriers calling at port wharves on a weekly basis under a marine terminal services agreement shall receive a 50% discount off the full dockage rates in Item 315. |

VESSELS MOVING FROM
|

|
Issued: 12/6/91 |
Effective: 1/6/92 |
Item: 310 |
|
When a vessel is charged or has paid dockage at a public wharf for any 24 hour day, such vessel may use any other wharf during that day without further similar charge, no matter how often such vessel may leave and return, provided such other wharf is on Stockton Channel or Turning Basin or is east of the Turning Basin. |
