Airline Handling Fees:
Cargo Terminal Operators (CTO’s) have announced they have reviewed their Airline Handling and Documentation charges effective immediately.
Our apologies for late notification but we were only advised ourselves today.
The Airline Transfer Fee will increase by $ 0.04 per kg to $ 0.67/kilogram with a minimum of $ 67.00/shipment.
The Airline Documentation Fee has been increased to $ 67.00/consignment, with a new Administration Fee being added @ $ 5.50 per consignment.
The International Terminal Fee remains unchanged.
Port Service Charges:
Several Shipping Lines have advised that they are increasing their port service charges in Australian ports from 1st March, 2023, from the information we have received to date, appears that costs will increase by approximately $ 20.00/20ft and $ 40.00/40ft in all ports and will apply to imports and exports.
We shall keep clients advised if there any changes closer to implementation date.
Port Infrastructure Charges:
The Sea Port Terminal Operators are also increasing their costs from 6th March, 2023, despite the industry being under a Federal Government investigation into Landside Charges and port efficiencies.
We are still working through the proposed changes and will advise more information once our cost comparisons are completed.
The Landside Charges increases are being touted by the Terminals as an embarkation on significant infrastructure investment program of $ 80 million committed for 2023 and a total investment of $ 300 million over the next 3 years.
