Long Beach,CAl,USA -Cargonews Asia (Hong Kong,China) -12 Feb 2009: -- With all systems ready to go, the Port of Long Beach will begin collecting a Clean Truck Fee on February 18 to finance the replacement of thousands of polluting cargo trucks. On the same day, the port will kick off an electronic gate access system for the fee collection and to improve security at shipping terminals... The Clean Truck Fee is expected to raise nearly US$1 million a day or about $1 billion over the next few years at both San Pedro Bay ports to help finance the replacement of thousands of trucks that are a leading source of air pollution in Southern California... The West Coast Marine Terminal Operator Agreement (WCMTOA) created the not-for-profit company PortCheck to collect the Clean Trucks Fee for the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles... Under the programme, the cargo owner is responsible for paying the Clean Truck Fee, $35 for a smaller cargo container and $70 for the typical, 40-foot-long cargo container. The fee will be payable by credit card or electronic funds transfer, and must be paid before a container can enter or leave the terminals...
