A security surcharge will be assessed against and collected from all vessels, barges and cargo interests utilizing services or facilities at the Port of Beaumont in accordance with the notice filed with the Federal Maritime Commission by the Gulf Seaports Marine Terminal Conference.

The security surcharge is assessed to recover costs incurred for security assessments, security plans, equipment purchase, installation and maintenance and staffing required to implement and maintain surveillance and access controls mandated by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 and U.S. Coast Guard regulation 33 CFR 105.

The security surcharge will be assessed against ships and barges as a percentage of total dockage charged, and as a tonnage fee against cargo, with the exception of containers, which will be assessed on a per unit basis. The security surcharge will be assessed in addition to all other fees which may be due under this tariff, as follows:

SHIPS and BARGES: 6% of total dockage assessed per port call

CARGO (to be billed to the party paying the wharfage):
Breakbulk $.13 per ton

Users of Port of Beaumont services or facilities who withhold, refuse or otherwise fail to pay properly assessed security surcharges, shall be subject to all the collection terms and procedures contained in item 296 of this tariff. In addition, at the sole discretion of the Port of Beaumont, such users may be denied service or required to deposit estimated port charges in advance of using port authority facilities or receiving services.
306 Finance charge
All invoices issued by the Port of Beaumont are due and payable upon presentation to vessels, their owners or agents, or any firms, persons or corporations using facilities under the operation of the Port of Beaumont.

Any invoice issued by the Port of Beaumont, which is unpaid thirty (30) days from the date the invoice is issued, shall be deemed to be delinquent.

Any invoices that are or become delinquent on or after thirty (30) days from the effective date of this amendment will be assessed an interest charge of twelve (12%) percent per annum of the amount of the invoice and shall be due and owing from the date of delinquency until paid. Such interest charges shall be calculated on a per annum basis of three hundred sixty five (365) days.

Additionally, should it become necessary for the Port of Beaumont to file suit to collect any delinquent invoices or to enforce any provision of this tariff, the party obligated herein to pay such invoices under this section or the party against whom enforcement of the tariff is sought consents to such suit being filed in the appropriate Judicial District Court, in Jefferson County, Texas, and further the party not prevailing shall be obligated to pay reasonable attorney fees incurred by the prevailing party.
