DP WORLD ADDS NEW TERMINAL CHARGES
The ebbs and flows of the industry strike again!
DP World Australia (DPWA) owners of major terminals at Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne Ports, have announced they will be adding new terminal access charges, to take effect from 1 May.
According to Daily Cargo News, DPWA blamed trading difficulties and constraints in 2020 as the cause of their own rising costs which will now be passed onto Australian importers and exporters.
But we’re here to assist. Please call us on (02)8339 1844 if you have any concerns about how this will affect your freight.
