Port Waives Tariff for Hatian Relief Supplies

The Port Director and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners have elected to waive any and all qualifying tariff charges for oceangoing vessels supplying humanitarian relief to Haiti, in accordance with Port Everglades Tariff Item 950 (the seaport’s governing rules and associated fees). Tariff charges typically include fees for docking a ship at the Port along with other related marine services.

A shipping company can apply for a tariff waiver simply by sending a request letter to Port Director Phillip C. Allen with a copy to Robert Flint, Operations Director, that states the humanitarian aid that your company is providing under Tariff Item #950 and how the cargo qualifies, the name of the ship with an attached list of the cargo and its weight. The address is: Port Everglades, 1850 Eller Drive, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316.

Information about the Port Everglades Tariff can be found on the Port's website at www.porteverglades.net. If you have questions about qualifying for the tariff waiver, please send us an email at porteverglades@broward.org.
