The Westbound Transpacific Stabilization Agreement announced that shipping lines moving container cargo to Asia from Southern California ports will be passing on an added rail charge associated with the Alameda Corridor rail expressway after the facility opens this month.
Effective April 15, lines will pass through charges of $15 per loaded 20-foot container equivalent and $30 per loaded 40-foot container equivalent. Proportionate charges are in place for other equipment sizes based on a formula of $.75 per linear container foot for a loaded waterborne container. The charge will apply to all containers moving by rail from outside the Southern California are to the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports.
The rail charges apply whether or not a container moves through the Alameda Corridor.
