Long Beach Port to Charge Trucks Fee for Air Quality

These shipping companies are going to be rerouting their shipping business through the Panama Canal. It is all but guaranteed now.

To support a goal of a zero-emissions truck fleet by 2035, the Port of Long Beach will start collecting its Clean Truck Fund Rate on April 1, 2022, as approved by the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners today.
The rate for nonexempt trucks of $10 per twenty-foot equivalent unit – a standard measure for one 20-foot-long cargo container – was set in March 2020 by the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles to encourage the trucking industry to invest in cleaner vehicles and reach zero emissions. Zero-emissions trucks are exempt from the rate, and the Port of Long Beach has approved an expiring exemption for the cleanest natural gas-powered trucks as a transitional step to a future when zero-emissions cargo trucks are widely available.
The Clean Truck Fund rate is expected to generate $90 million in the first year, or $45 million per port. As part of Monday’s action, the Board approved an initial funding prioritization for both low-nitrogen oxides and zero-emissions trucks, with at least 10% of the funds to be provided to zero-emissions trucks.
“As cargo volume continues to break records, it’s critical that we transition to a zero-emissions fleet,” said Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia. “Our Clean Truck Fund is a bold step forward towards cleaner air and addressing our climate crisis.”
“We are the Green Port,” said Harbor Commission President Steven Neal. “Speeding progress toward the zero-emissions trucks goal is important, in spite of the business uncertainties created by the pandemic.
There should never be any doubt that we will fulfill this promise. This rate allows us to balance aggressively pursuing zero-emissions goals with economic vitality and competitiveness. We have a responsibility to find solutions to protect public health in vulnerable communities.”

“What’s that, Bill?”
“fricking inflation.”
“Well have I got the fix for you…”

I find ironic that CO2 is what makes things green.

Bring that shite into New Orleans or Beaumont.
However, instead of realizing Nola would make a frick ton of money, Latoya would see it as the white man would make money and rona would be brought into her city and that just can’t happen

There's a chassis shortage in Southern California. In order for containers to be removed from the port, trucks must have a container chassis to load the containers.

It's a big opportunity for the Mexican west coast. Unload in Mexico and truck to the US

Lemmee tell you guys how I know it won’t stop at the statues now.
I’ve professionally been involved in Tiered diesel emissions since 1999.
Tier 1 was launched in 1998, no problem.
Tier 2 put electronic injection in place and made the engines much better
Tier 3 was a debacle- we burned way too much fuel because we had to do stupid shite with EGR to get the NOx down, we made more black smoke, but still met the standard
Tier 4 is where we had real problems- the final Tier 4 standard said we had to have a 90% reduction in NOx and PM (black stuff in exhaust). But no one knew how to do it. Seriously. The company I worked for at the time spent $2.4B to figure it out.
NINETY PERCENT REDUCTION
Let that sink in.
We achieved over a 16 year period something that every single engineer said at the beginning would be commercially impossible.
And despite everyone’s bitching- it’s pretty reliable in the OTR truck world.
Now, it’s not enough? The air coming out a modern diesel exhaust has oft been said to be cleaner than what went in the intake- we know that’s not true- but they don’t smoke at all anymore, they pull like mad, are efficient, reliable, and cheap. Fuel is plentiful.
Now we need to have ZERO emissions.
Just remember next time you vote.
It was never just about the statues.

I had heard a while back that the Chinese are now heavily invested in ownership and/or control of the Panama Canal. And we already know the DNC are owned by the Chinese.
It all makes perfect sense now.
The Chinese already own all our manufacturing and now they're going to own all the supply lines for those goods as well.
Game.
Set.
Match.
It was nice knowing you America. Keep your powder dry and plant some seeds.

How about just do a two birds with one stone and ban all carbonated drinks.
bird 1 = less fattys and diabetics
bird 2 = reduce C02

Ports of NOLA and BR need to put out the vacancy sign and welcome every container ship and truck that burns whatever fuel they want, with a free meal upon unloading. But Louisiana leadership is entirely too short sighted and IGNORANT for that.

Better yet, ban oxygen. It it obvious the average person does not realized Oxygen is two-thirds of CO2!
Lets go Brandon.

If you actually believe that our supply chain problems is due to a shortage of trailers, I have something I want to sell you.

This isn’t about the environment It’s a damn money embezzlement scheme.
