Goods that are stored on port lands will be charged in accordance with the CHAI posted rates for all of the land area used from the time the storage of the goods are placed on the land until the goods are completely removed. For greater clarity, the land area will be measured once the storage of the goods has been completed and that area will be used in the calculation of the storage rate. Weekly measurements will then take place and rates adjusted accordingly until the full removal of goods.
The storage rate will be effective on a daily (or portion of a day) rate basis from the commencement date of the storage, whether or not all of the goods are stored as of that date, and be in effect until all of the goods are completely removed from the land. CHAI reserves the right to designate that area of the lands, which are available to the user for storage, and to limit the area available and duration for storage within its discretion. Users shall be responsible to pile and store goods in a manner that minimizes its storage footprint and in accordance with City of Charlottetown bylaws. Should a user store or attempt to store goods on that portion of lands not approved by CHAI for the storage of its goods, or in a manner that does not minimize its storage footprint, CHAI retains the right to move and/or remove the goods and any and all costs related thereto shall be paid by the user to CHAI.

Garbage from international ships is classified as “special waste” under the PEI Waste Resource Management Regulations (under the PEI Environmental Protection Act). Transfer of garbage from international ships at the Charlottetown Marine Terminal must be pre arranged with the Charlottetown Harbour Authority Inc. and will only be considered if all arrangements and permits are prepared by the vessel owner, captain or agent. A copy of the permit must be supplied to Charlottetown Harbour Authority Inc. before the transfer of any waist.
A permit from the province ($25) is required for disposal of this waste, and the only possible disposal option is incineration at a cost per tonne. Furthermore, the incineration of international garbage requires an inspection from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) under the Federal Health of Animals Act. The province may issue a permit within four hours of a request, if the tonnage and basic garbage components are presented to them ahead of time. Once the permit is issued, the province automatically contacts CFIA for an inspection.
