Important tariff changes are on the way!
From 1 January 2026, DP World, Patricks, and VICT will implement new increases to their Carrier Access Tariffs. These changes directly impact day-to-day operating costs across the supply chain.
Here’s what shifts:
• Higher infrastructure fees
• Adjusted Vehicle Booking Slot charges
• Updated ancillary terminal fees across all three terminals
These updates override previous fee notices for the Melbourne market.
What’s next with empty parks?
Empty container parks are expected to announce their revised charges soon. Based on early signals, we anticipate similar upward adjustments. Our team is tracking each operator and will share updates as they’re released.
Why this matters?
Cost movements at terminal and park level can influence planning, delivery scheduling, and landed cost forecasts. Getting ahead of it now avoids operational surprises in January.
