The adjustment applies to multiple tariff items including dockage, wharfage for both containerized and non-containerized commodities, demurrage, long-term storage, fresh water services, penalties, delinquent charges, and diving permit fees.

All activities associated with this amendment occur exclusively at the Port of Long Beach, California, with the Harbor Department at 415 West Ocean Boulevard serving as the primary administrative location. No formal contract vehicle, procurement number, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are involved, as this is an internal tariff update rather than a competitive solicitation or service contract. The Port of Long Beach, operating as both the lead agency and the entity responsible for implementation, has not designated any contracting officer, COR, COTR, or external contractor for this action. There is no estimated contract value, CLIN structure, payment instructions, invoicing method, or delivery schedule provided, as the amendment is regulatory in nature and does not involve the acquisition of goods or services through a traditional procurement process. Key administrative contacts include Amy Wong, Director of Environmental Planning, and Roger Wu, Director of Business Development, who serve as the primary points of contact for the initiative.
