We would like to notify you of current disruptions affecting terminal and empty park operations due to high winds in the port precinct.
Current Situation:
- Weather Impact: The terminal is currently experiencing high winds, with conditions expected to worsen throughout the day. As a result, terminal zones and empty park operations are being impacted, with potential closures and cancellations occurring with little notice.
- Operational Status: All empty areas, including Direct Return Empties and Stack Runs, have been temporarily closed until further notice. Trucks currently in the empty areas are advised to vacate, and all loading activities at the depot have been halted pending further instructions from the Yard Planner/Supervisor.
Potential Impact on Your Operations:
- Delays: You may experience delays in container handling and potential non-serviced transactions due to weather conditions.
- Additional Charges: Please note that cancellations may occur on short notice, and any trucks already en route to the port precinct may incur additional charges due to futile trips.
- Container Detention: While we will make every effort to dehire empty containers within the allowable free period, we cannot be held responsible for any container detention fees incurred due to these unforeseen circumstances.
Recommendations:
- Alternative Arrangements: Please direct all Direct Empty Returns to their alternative off-hire facilities and contact Transport to cancel current jobs.
We encourage all customers to remain in contact with their designated customer service representative for the latest updates.
We will continue to monitor the situation, and as always, we will notify you of any impacted deliveries. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
