Section 250-164-2 - SYNOPSIS1. Through joint action of the Maine Department of Transportation and the Secretary of State, carriers transporting sealed oceangoing containers on roads or bridges maintained by the Maine Department of Transportation may, under certain predefined conditions, be issued Oceangoing Container Permits authorizing operation at weights in excess of the legal weight allowed for the transporting vehicle configuration. OGC Permits are vehicle and route specific; issued for a predetermined number of trips; and expire one year from the date of issue. An annual administrative fee is charged along with a highway system impact fee based on the road mile distance within the State of Maine between the container's port of entry/exit or railhead removal point and its destination or origin point. This rule does not preclude the necessity to obtain additional permits for the use of other roads, including the Maine Turnpike, as many municipalities also have their own restrictions in place.29- 250 C.M.R. ch. 164, § 2
