A full lift fee is charged once a lift has commenced, even if that lift is subsequently interrupted, suspended or canceled for any reason.

The Administration developed a list of rates and rules that were vetted at a PACAB meeting during 2013. However, the rates have not yet been approved and placed into the harbor tariff. The proposed rates are $2.50 per foot (of vessel length) per hour compared to a rate of $6.30 per foot per hour for hauling out and launching a 55-foot vessel. The difference in the two rates can be explained by the fact that the lift will already be warmed up and in service during the washing process. Furthermore, the proposed wash rate does not include the labor to operate the pressure washers. Customers and private contractors will perform the washing in most cases. If the harbor staff is called on to perform the washing, standard labor rates would be charged. INTENT: To establish rates for pressure washing vessels at SMIC.
