ASSESSMENT OF LEASE RATES
|
34-550
Issued: Monday, September 1, 2014
Effective: Wednesday, October 1, 2014
Subject:
ASSESSMENT OF LEASE RATES
All gantry crane (cranes) lease rates are based on per crane per hour, or fraction thereof. When lifts of more than one weight are handled during any given hour, the hourly crane lease rate will be based on the weight of the heaviest lift handled with heavy lift per ton charge, when applicable, assessed on the weight of the individual lifts. The stevedore or lessee utilizing the crane (cranes) shall report the weights per lift, made by the crane (cranes) for billing purposes. Failure to provide that weight within two (2) working days will result in the billing being based upon the crane scale weights, and no adjustments will be made. On container cranes, billing will be in one-half (1/2) hour increments after the fourth hour.

Standby charges are assessed to each crane ordered and not used at the scheduled/ordered time. Standby time charges are determined by using the labor rates specified in Rule 34-630 for the crane operator, the crane lead and the crane rigging crew at the applicable straight time, time and one-half, or double time rates on a per hour basis only, with no provisions made for fractional part of the hour. Should standby time be incurred during the same hour in which the crane is used, the crane time will be billed at the applicable crane lease rates.
