LOS ANGELES—A fine on lingering containers at the Los Angeles ports, which never went into effect since its inception, was delayed for the ninth time on Jan. 14, one day after the Harbor Commission voted 5–0 to extend the period of imposing the fine through April 29.

Now the ports will potentially start collecting the fine next Friday, Jan. 21, if necessary, according to the announcement.
