Dear Clients, Disappointingly, its that time of year where we must bring to your attention the scheduled Terminal (wharf) Fee increase. All major terminal operators excluding Hutchinson (SYD / BNE) have notified market of their planned price increases and poorly tried to justify them. The increases will be applied from 1st JAN 2026. Please note that final amounts will be announced by the haulage companies soon as they are the party directly paying the terminal with many adding on administrative charges to cover the cost of cash flow & administration. A summary of the % increases is below for your ease. For Fremantle customers, you will note the increase from DP WORLD is particularly steep. Currently though, charges are still significantly lower than the East Coast ports.

We highly recommend you build in additional costs to your goods in advance as the increases are not small.Wharf storage charges have also increased, therefore the penalty for not having your goods cleared and ready to move off the wharf is even harsher than previous. This is a timely reminder to ensure that you supply customs clearance documents well in advance of the arrival of your goods. A link to each terminal providers notice is below, should you wish to bore yourself with their excuses!
