(1) The mandatory standards may provide for the time within which the truck servicing for which a booking is made must be performed by a stevedore (the truck turnaround time), including by specifying the events that constitute the start and end of truck servicing.
(2) If the truck servicing for which a booking is made by a carrier is not performed by the stevedore within the truck turnaround time for the booking, the stevedore is liable to pay the carrier a financial penalty calculated at the rate of $25 for every 15 minutes by which the truck turnaround time is exceeded.
