Some testimony in the record indicates that no point on the Atlantic or Gulf coasts is beyond the 50-mile radius of an ILA port. JA 634a-635a
The Rules do not apply to export containers, whether consolidated or full shipper's loads, that originate beyond the 50-mile port area, or to import containers destined to consignees beyond the 50-mile zone. Rules 2-A-(1), 2-B-(1), JA 1530a
Rules 2-A-(2)-(3), 2-B-(2), JA 1530a. Even if a load is owned by a single shipper or consignee, however, it may not be loaded or unloaded within the 50-mile zone by persons other than the owner's employees or at any place other than the owner's facility. The Rules are violated if a full shipper's load is handled by the employees of a public warehouse or a motor carrier line, even for the motor carrier's own convenience.
