I-FMC Ikhuphe Imithetho Emitsha Yokulwa Nokutshaja Okugqithisileyo Kwe-D&D!

Ngomhla wama-23 kuFebruwari, ngo-2024, iKhomishini yezeMaritime yeFederal (i-FMC) yabhengeza imithetho yayo yokugqibela ejolise ekuqokeleleni iifizi zeDemurrage kunye neDetention (D&D) nge Umthwalikunye nabaqhubi bee-terminal, besebenzisa imithetho emitsha yokulwa neendlela zokutshaja kakhulu.

Oku kubonisa isiganeko esibalulekileyo ekusombululeni umba weDemurrage kunye neentlawulo zokubanjwa kwabantu, ingakumbi phakathi kwemingeni ebangelwe kukuxinana kwamazibuko ngexesha lobhubhane.

Ngexesha lobhubhane, ukuxinana kwamazibuko eMelika kukhokelele ekulibazisekeni kokubuyiselwa kweekhonteyina, nto leyo ebangele iindleko ezinkulu zokunciphisa iindleko, ezihlala zithwalwa ziinkampani zokuthumela impahla.

Ukuphendula, i-FMC icacisile ukuba iindleko ze-D&D kufuneka zisebenze kuphela kwiikhonteyina ezigcinwe ngaphaya kwexesha elibekiweyo kumazibuko. Nangona ezi ndleko zilula ukuhamba kweempahla kwikhonkco lokubonelela, akufuneki zisebenze njengomthombo owongezelelweyo wengeniso kubathwali kunye nabaqhubi bamazibuko.

I-FMC igxeke ngokuphindaphindiweyo amatyala angenangqiqo olwandle kwaye ibhengeze iinkqubo zexeshana zokuphonononga, ukuphanda, kunye nokugweba izikhalazo ekupheleni kuka-2022.

Ukumiselwa komthetho we-"OSRA 2022" yi-FMC kuye kwenza lula iinkqubo zengxabano ezinxulumene neentlawulo ezongezelelweyo ngabathwali kunye nabaqhubi bee-terminal. Ngenkqubo yezikhalazo zentlawulo, abathengi banethuba lokuphikisa iintlawulo kunye nokucela imbuyekezo.

Ukuba iinkampani zokuthumela ngenqanawa ziyaphula imigangatho yokuhlawulisa, i-FMC ingathatha amanyathelo okulungisa iingxabano, kuquka ukubuyiselwa kwemali okanye izohlwayo.

Kutshanje, ngokwemigaqo emitsha ebhengezwe yi-FMC nge-23 kaFebruwari 2024, ii-invoyisi ze-D&D zinokukhutshwa kumthengisi okanye kumthengisi kodwa zingakhutshwa kumaqela amaninzi ngaxeshanye.

Ukongeza, abathwali kunye nabaqhubi bee-terminal kufuneka bakhuphe ii-invoyisi ze-D&D zingadlulanga iintsuku ezingama-30 emva kwentlawulo yokugqibela. Iqela elifakelwe i-invoyisi lineentsuku ezingama-30 ubuncinane zokucela ukuncitshiswa kwentlawulo okanye ukubuyiselwa kwemali. Nakuphi na ukungavisisani kufuneka kusonjululwe zingadlulanga iintsuku ezingama-30, ngaphandle kokuba omabini amaqela avumelana ukwandisa ixesha lonxibelelwano.

Ngaphezu koko, imigaqo emitsha ichaza iinkcukacha ze-invoyisi zeentlawulo ze-D&D ukuqinisekisa ukuba akukho nto icacileyo kumntu ofake i-invoyisi. Icacisa ukuba ukuba abathwali kunye nabaqhubi be-terminal abaphumeleli ukubonelela ngolwazi oluyimfuneko kwi-invoyisi, umhlawuli unokubamba intlawulo yeentlawulo ezinxulumene noko.

Ngaphandle kwemiba efuna imvume evela kumagunya afanelekileyo malunga neenkcukacha ze-invoyisi, zonke ezinye iimfuno eziphathelele ii-invoyisi ze-D&D ziya kuqala ukusebenza ngoMeyi 26 kulo nyaka. Lo mmiselo wokugqibela kwi-D&D okhutshwe yi-FMC ubonisa ukujongwa okungqongqo kweenqwelo-moya ezisebenza eMelika.

Ngokuphathelele imigaqo emitsha ye-FMC, uJohn Butler, uSihlalo we- Ukuthunyelwa Kweenqanawa Ehlabathini IBhunga (i-WSC), elimele abathwali beenkonzo, lithe okwangoku bayayigaya imithetho yokugqibela kwaye baza kubandakanyeka kwiingxoxo namalungu, bengayigcini nayiphi na ingxelo kawonke-wonke okwangoku.
