Abstract
- Steamship carriers have joined stevedores, led by James J. Flanagan Shipping Corp., to stop the board of Port of Lake Charles from increasing the terminal rates. The rate hike was proposed by the Lake Charles Stevedores Inc., who has had monopoly of terminal operations for several years. The stevedores and carriers claim that the price increases were meant to put them out of business by increasing the pallet and clerking fees charged to stevedores from $.75 a ton to $1.50 a ton. The rates are added to an existing $1 a ton rail switching fee and $.55 clerking fee, bringing the total amount of charges to $3.05 a ton.
