Please find the attached update – current shipping terminal situation in Australia

 

In Summary:

 

SYDNEY DPW

 

Based on the outcome of a Protected Action Ballot Order (PABO) last week, the

Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) can now undertake work bans and stoppages

within 5 working days of notice provided to DPW.

 

At this time, however, the MUA have not tendered notice to DPW.

 

As such, no change where Protected Industrial Action (PIA) remains lifted for

Fremantle, Brisbane and Melbourne, but where work restrictions still apply for

Sydney, and berthing protocols continue until the PIA has been lifted.

 

Average delays in Sydney DPW now stand at 24 to 72 hours

 

Congestion due to the number of off-window vessels, impacting the berthing line-up.

 

Expected recovery now estimated by week 40, but remaining under close review.

 

PATRICK

 

Delays in Sydney now averaging between 12-14 days for the current week

 

The situation may unfortunately deteriorate further depending on the impact of PIA.

 

The already announced port omissions should help to improve the vessel line-up, however this area also remains under close review.
