liability and obligation. In instances in which the Port’s negligence causes or contributes to the cause of any such liability as hereinabove set forth, user’s obligation to exculpate or indemnify and hold harmless the Port pursuant to this item shall be limited to that portion of the liability, on a percentage basis, which is not attributable to the Port’s negligence.

Users will be scheduled for the equipment in the order of their applications, but the schedule will be modified as necessary for the Temporary Wharf Assignments by the actual availability of a vessel at the berth and by the availability of cargo in port area. User shall, in the use of equipment, conduct its operations expeditiously and shall cease use and return the equipment to the control of the Port of Richmond without delay upon conclusion of the authorized use thereof. The Port Director reserves the right to order the user to cease use of the handling equipment immediately whenever, in his opinion, the user is not using said handling equipment in accordance with the terms of the assignment, or whenever necessary for the best interests of the port. The Port of Richmond will not be responsible for delays to vessels, land transportation equipment or cargo for any cause whatsoever. Whenever another vessel is standing by, awaiting the use of a berth where handling equipment is located, the vessel on berth will be required to work overtime at her own expense until loading or discharging has been completed.
Any vessel on berth which refuses to work overtime shall vacate the berth upon order of the Port Director.

ITEM 08100 APPLICATION OF WHARFAGE RATES
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this tariff, wharfage, as defined in Item No. 01220, shall be assessed in addition to other charges named in this tariff. (b) Wharfage rates applicable will be those in effect on the date that vessel commences discharging or loading of cargo.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this tariff, wharfage rates shall be assessed as follows:
(1) Containerized Cargo and Empty Shipping Containers:
(a) Wharfage will be assessed on cargo in containers according to the commodity description, rate basis and the provisions specified in Items 10100 through 10700. (b) Commodities not specifically named in this section will be subject to the Cargo N.O.S. rate basis specified in Item 10200
(2) Non-Containerized Cargo:
(a) Wharfage will be assessed charges in cents per 1,000 kilograms or cubic meter as specified in Items 09100 through 09215; or according to the vessel’s manifest, on whichever basis the water freight charges are assessed. (b) On cargo moving on other than a weight or measure basis (i.e. per package, per unit, combination weight and measure basis, etc.) wharfage will be assessed in cents per 1,000 kilograms or cubic meter, whichever will result in the greater revenue. (c) Commodities not specifically named in this section will be subject to the Cargo N.O.S. rate in Item 09105.
(d) Cargo which is not covered by a regular commercial shipping line’s manifest and is not moving under regularly established commercial rates published in commercial tariffs, but is moving to or from ports that are served by vessels operating in regular trade routes under commercial tariffs, shall be assessed wharfage on the same basis as the freight charges on such cargo would have been assessed on vessels operating in such regular trade routes under commercial tariffs.
(e) Transferred cargo is defined in Item 01200, received at a Port of Richmond terminal facility will be assessed the applicable wharfage on the basis as cargo moving by vessel at the rate of $145.00 per twenty-foot equivalent container unit (TEU) prior to leaving

the Port terminal. Transferred cargo moving by land vehicle from one Port of Richmond Terminal facility to another will be assessed only one wharfage charge of $136.00 per TEU which will be assessed at the final Port of Richmond terminal, unless a Port of Richmond wharfage charge is not applicable at that terminal in which event the charge will be assessed at the first terminal. However, transferred cargo may be assessed the lower rates in Items 10100 and 10300 through 10700 when the owner, agent, or other person in charge of such cargo provides the Port written verification that the commodities are those specifically named in those items. (f) Transshipped cargo discharged and assessed applicable wharfage at one Port of Richmond terminal facility and directly reloaded to a vessel at the same or another Port of Richmond terminal will be assessed the applicable wharfage at the initial discharge only. The applicable wharfage on transshipped cargo will be assessed in accordance with Items 10100 through 10700 whether assessed at the initial discharge, or at the final Port of Richmond terminal because no wharfage charge was applicable at the initial terminal. Transshipped commodities will be subject to Port audit and verification. In the event such audit finds the transshipped commodities are not specifically named under Items 10100 and 10300 through 10700 then wharfage will be assessed under the rates for Cargo, N.O.S. in Item 10200. When transshipment is substituted for direct call of vessel, the charges on cargo so handled will be the same as that applicable to cargo handled on direct call.
ITEM 08110 MANIFESTS AND STATEMENTS
(a) The owner, agent, master, or other person in charge of a vessel or cargo shall deliver to the Port Director, or his designee, not later than 45 days after the date of the vessel’s departure a full and correct statement (signed and certified on forms furnished by the Port) of wharfage assessed and collected on all cargo of every kind discharged from and or loaded to such vessel at such terminal, specifying the character and quantity of each kind of such cargo as identified in

(c) In addition to the statements and documents required to be submitted under paragraphs (a) and (b) above, use of any Port facility by the owner, agent, master or other person in charge of a vessel or cargo shall constitute authorization for the release of operational information pertaining to such vessel activity, as may be reasonably required from time to time by the Port Director, or his designee, to verify cargo loaded and or discharged at the Port of Richmond. (d) Neglect or refusal by any person to comply with the provisions in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Item; or, deliberately falsifying statements and documents by any person may, at the discretion of the Port Director, result in such persons being subject to the penalties prescribed in law and in this tariff.
