Paramount Concrete Loading Float
The Paramount concrete loading float is free of charge for fishers who are actively loading / unloading gear. However, in the interest of keeping the float clear for loading and unloading purposes, no vessel is allowed to stay overnight on the south or west sides of the float under any circumstances unless authorized previously by Steveston Harbour Authority. If overnight stays are required for major loading / unloading operations or other legitimate reasons as determined by Steveston Harbour Authority, permission may be granted to moor on the east side of the float for these purposes at a rate of $20.00 / day in addition to regular moorage fees. However, this is only possible if authorized by Steveston Harbour Authority.
If any vessel ties to the loading float overnight under any circumstances without prior approval from Steveston Harbour Authority, that vessel will be subject to a penalty of $100.00 / day until the vessel leaves the float.
