Current through June 25, 2024
Stevedores shall be responsible for the removal, storing and
				  stacking of all cargo handling equipment, or other materials left on piers,
				  wharves, docks, apron, warehouse, open areas or other space by vessels to
				  spaces designated by the Port Authority or space leased or rented by the
				  stevedore. Such removals, stacking and/or storing shall be done to the
				  satisfaction of the Port Authority promptly upon the completion of each loading
				  or unloading of vessels. All expenses in connection with such cargo handling
				  equipment shall be for account of the stevedore working such vessels.
The storage, keeping or use of gasoline, distillate, liquid
				  petroleum gas or other petroleum products, storage batteries, or other
				  dangerous, hazardous or explosive articles on Port Authority property is
				  strictly prohibited except at such localities as may be specifically designated
				  by the Port Authority.
The above restriction also applies to gasoline, distillates,
				  liquefied petroleum gas or other petroleum products, storage batteries or other
				  propellants used in automotive equipment of all kinds, including the machines,
				  tractors, trucks or vehicles in which such articles are kept, used or
				  stored.
No licensee or other party may bring onto Port Authority
				  property any machinery, vehicle, tractor equipment, supplies, material or any
				  other article, unless and until authorized to do so by the Port Authority. Any
				  authorized party bringing any such equipment or material onto Port Authority
				  property shall do so at its own risk, and the Port Authority assumes no
				  responsibility therefor nor for any liability the owner or other party may
				  become subject to as a result thereof.
It shall be the duty of stevedores and all other persons
				  performing loading, unloading, transfer, handling, storage or other services on
				  Port Authority facilities for cargoes to or from rail cars, trucks, vessels,
				  barges or other conveyances to keep clean and maintain in good repair all of
				  their cargo handling equipment and machinery so as to prevent damages to or
				  contamination of cargo, port terminal facilities or transportation
				  equipment.
Stevedore's tools, appliances, equipment, vehicles or any
				  other material or object for the handling of cargoes should not remain
				  overnight on aprons, in sheds, or on any roadway. If such obstruction is not
				  moved immediately upon notification by the Port Authority, it may be removed,
				  stored, or sold by the Port Authority, and the owner will be charged with the
				  expense incurred. The Port Authority, at its discretion, may allow storage of
				  such equipment and appliances in specified places or wharves or in sheds or
				  warehouses or space may be rented or leased for such purposes from the Port
				  Authority.
