07 Feb An outlook on landside port charges
The turn of the calendar year is the optimal time for a retrospective review of landside port charges and the changes that have impacted businesses operating across the supply chain landscape.
According to recent statistics, landside port charges have been on a consistent upward trend over the previous year, with increases across the board including: container terminal access charges (21%), stevedore ancillary (26%), penalty charges (37%) and empty container park access charges (17%). In addition, individual ancillary and penalty charges have also increased, by approximately 6% and 8% respectively.
Furthermore, amendments to the Victorian Voluntary Pricing Protocol has seen three Victorian-based container terminals align their landside pricing tariffs to all commence from 1 January each year. Elsewhere, Patrick Terminals and DP World Australia have also adopted these protocols for their terminals in Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle.
It is anticipated that average terminal access charges are likely to increase over the coming year.
