MELBOURNE AND ADELAIDE EMPTY PARK INCREASES

Empty Container Parks in Melbourne & Adelaide have followed suit and announced increases to Terminal Access/Booking Fees and will also increase by $10 per container from 21st September 2020 and will be reflected in the Terminal Access/Booking Fees (Infrastructure Levy/VBS booking/Empty booking fees).
NB:   Industry bodies such as Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA), IFCBAA & transport associations continue to raise concerns about the continual increases from Stevedores and the unfair billing of Terminal Access/Infrastructure fees to transport companies (instead of their contracted clients – the shipping lines). Multiple approaches have been made in the past to the ACCC, Deputy Prime Minister and State Governments, in an effort to regulate against the charges unfairly forced upon transport operators.
