The charge for wharfage, demurrage and storage is a lien upon all goods landed upon any of the wharves or thoroughfares under the jurisdiction of the Commission, and the Commission, or its agents or lessees, may hold possession of any goods, to secure the payment of wharfage, demurrage or storage. For the purpose of the lien the Commission is deemed to have possession of the goods until the applicable charge is paid.
(Added as Sec. 1601 by Ord. 39-69, App. 1/28/69; redesignated by Ord. 230-17, File No. 171042, App. 12/6/2017, Eff. 1/5/2018)
For the purpose of enforcing the charge for wharfage, demurrage and storage on goods landed on any wharf or thoroughfare, or remaining thereon longer than the time prescribed by the regulations of the Commission, the Commission may take possession of the goods. If the charge is not paid within two days thereafter, the Commission may remove and store the goods at the risk and expense of the owner or consignee, or it may sell them at public auction, with or without notice.
For the purpose of keeping the wharves and thoroughfares free of obstructions, the Commission shall cause a written notice to be served on the owner, agent, consignee, or person in possession of any obstructing material or structure, or it may post a notice thereon requiring its removal within 24 hours thereafter; and on failure to comply, the Commission may remove, store, or sell them at public auction. The sale shall be made subject to immediate removal. From the proceeds of any sale, the Commission shall retail all the wharfage and tolls due, plus 10 percent, and in case of obstructions, $25 for each day during which the wharf or thoroughfare has been obstructed, and also all the expenses attending the sale. The surplus, if any, shall be paid to the proper person.
(Added as Sec. 1602 by Ord. 39-69, App. 1/28/69; redesignated by Ord. 230-17, File No. 171042, App. 12/6/2017, Eff. 1/5/2018)
Every master, agent, or owner of any vessel, and every owner, agent, or manager of any railroad car, who discharges from or receives on or allows to be discharged from or received on the vessel or car any merchandise or other article, before the wharfage thereon has been paid, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
The warrant of arrest may be discharged at any time before trial by the payment of the wharfage on the goods wrongfully discharged or received, together with the cost of the legal proceedings. A receipt for wharfage, signed by a wharfinger or other proper officer of the Commission, is the only evidence of payment.
