Oceania

Oceania import, export and coastal service remain in place, with the number of sailings offered reflective of the current market environment. Due to upcoming holiday seasons in China and South Korea we expect to see a temporary change in sailings arriving from Asia at the end of October.

As we are currently in BMSB season, there is an additional risk of delay for vessels found to be contaminated. Please review our Clean Cargo Guidelines here.

Despite the commencement of BMSB Season, ports across Australia remain relatively unaffected by congestion at this point. We are constantly monitoring the situation on the ground and working with our local partners and processing facilities to ensure the smoothest processing of import cargo.

Melbourne: No delays/working on arrival

Port Kembla: No delays/working on arrival

Brisbane: Currently experiencing delays of 1-2 days, due to limited berth availability and routine BMSB inspections.

Adelaide: No delays/working on arrival

Fremantle: 0-5 days wait for berth, subject to berth availability and heavily influenced by yard capacity

Auckland: No delays/working on arrival

Operations: Our equipment processing centres in Australia are open and operational, though space remains tight across all sites reflecting increased storage demand.

Capacity: We are continuing to work closely with our customers to meet their increased capacity needs as well as seeking out additional storage options where necessary. We encourage our customers to look at both their upcoming forecasts and any planned changes to assist planning for our operations teams.

Inland transportation for the automotive sector is meeting demand. High and Heavy transportation is experiencing some delays due to high demand for equipment, labour and logistics, particularly for East Coast to West Coast moves.
