Pushback on Patrick charges
Australia’s container transport industry is stridently opposing new increases in landside fees and charges applied by Patrick Terminals from 1 March.
The Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA) states the decision is “unfettered and unilateral” and notably because non-payment of the terminal’s fee tariff will deny transport operators terminal access.
The CTAA says no justification or evidence has been given for such fee increases which represent a major cause for concern for landside stakeholders.
