Adelaide Channel Widening Levy

 

Dear Customer,

 

Note Flinders Ports will increase their Channel Widening Levy from the 1st January 2019. OOCL will be implementing a separate surcharge for this levy that will be collected from importers and exporters.

 

With effect from 1st January 2019 OOCL's Adelaide Channel Widening Levy (code - ACW) will be AUD26.60 / TEU subject to GST, applicable to all inbound and outbound laden cargo.

 

•           Export –

effective from AAA2 vessel Grouse Hunter v.020N & ASA vessel CPO Jackson v.1849N

 

•           Import –

effective from AAA2 vessel Grouse Hunter v.020S & ASA vessel CPO Jackson v.1849S

 

Flinders Ports estimate the project to cost $80m, which involves the lengthening of the swing basin off the container terminal in addition to the widening of the 11 km shipping channel to a width of 170 meters. This width will accommodate the largest vessels expected to call Port Adelaide in the foreseeable future.

 

For further information about the Channel Widening Project please refer to the following link which will provide regular updates on the project.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local Sales Executive at OOCL.

 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of OOCL.

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

OOCL (Australia) Pty Ltd.
