NOTES APPLICABLE TO ITEM 300:


NOTE 1: Because the Port Authority cannot recognize the many parties involved in barge transportation, the owner of each barge moving into, from or within the harbor, west of the Inner Harbor High Bridge, is responsible for all dockage charges incurred by or accruing against the barge. The Port Authority will invoice all dockage charges incurred by the barge to the owner of the barge, and such owner is liable for payment of such charges to the Port Authority unless, prior to incurring the dockage charge, the Port Authority is instructed to invoice dockage charges to another responsible party who in writing guarantees payment. The use of a wharf, dock, pier, berth, shore, banks or any other Terminal Facility by the barge constitutes acceptance of this liability by the barge owner.
