(a) On ocean-going vessels: (1) Dockage shall be based on overall length of the vessel as shown in Lloyds Register. If length is not shown in Lloyds Register, the ships Certificate of Registry showing length of vessel will be accepted. (2) Vessels for which the overall length is not available in either Lloyds Register or the Certificate of Registry will be measured at the direction of the Board, by a bonafide Marine Surveyor or Naval Architect, and either lettered, numbered, or named and registered with the Board 715 so that identification may be easily established; otherwise such vessels shall be denied the use of the wharves and other facilities provided by the Port of Oakland.

(3) In computing dockage charges based on over- all length of vessel, the following will govern in the disposition of fractions: Five (5) inches or less, discard. Over five (5) inches, increase to the next whole figure. (4) When a vessel changes its position from an outside to an inside berth, or vice- versa, or otherwise changes its status so that it would be liable to pay dockage at a different dockage rate, the dockage due under the changed status shall be assessed from the time such change takes effect. -5- (5) Vessels on regular daily schedules leaving from and returning to the wharf shall not be assessed more than one full days dockage in any 24 hour period.
