Roll Over Charge – Effective February 1, 2006, the terminal operator in the Port of Miami, POMTOC, has implemented a fee for all cargoes that are rolled to a subsequent vessel.

This operational charge is 75.00 USD per unit and is billed to the carrier. However, we must pass this on to the owner of the cargo.

The Roll Over Charge has been implemented to compensate for moves completed by the terminal for units already received for a given vessel that are later rolled by the customer for whatever reason.

The request for terminal to "roll cargo" does generate additional moves for the terminal and, therefore, this cost must be passed on to the owner of the cargo.
