长滩港加强拥堵缓解措施

Port of Long Beach advances congestion relief measures

Taking aim at the bottleneck that has slowed cargo movement through the Port recently, the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners on Monday approved measures to relieve congestion including a petition of the Federal Maritime Commission for permission to work in concert with the neighboring Port of Los Angeles.

The Harbor Commission authorized the release of a Request for Proposals for the creation of a "peak chassis pool," which would augment the supply of the chassis – the truck trailer frames used to haul cargo containers – when they are most needed. A shortage of chassis has been a major factor in the congestion issues at the port complex this year. Also, the Commission gave preliminary approval to a cap of four days for parking or "dockage" fees charged by the Port to ships at berth.

长滩港加强拥堵缓解措施

    为了解决港口货物运输滞缓的瓶颈，长滩港委员会委员在星期一批准采取相关措施来缓解港口拥堵，其中包括一份联邦海事委员会同意与洛杉矶港协同工作的请愿书。

    港口委员会授权发布了一项建造"高峰底盘池"的提议。该提议提出增加底盘的供应量以满足对底盘的大量需求（底盘是用于货物集装箱运输的卡车拖车架）。如今，底盘的短缺问题已经成为港口拥堵的主要因素。此外，委员会初步同意靠泊时间最长为4天，或者对于在泊船舶，港口当局可收取相关的船坞费。
