Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) yesterday received the below advice from Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in terms of a further increase in Infrastructure Surcharges effective 1 August 2020.

VICT will be increasing its Infrastructure charge in order to cover the 2020 lease increase.
Effective 1 August 2020, customers are advised that VICT will adjust its Infrastructure charge to $131.03 per container (exclusive of GST). This will apply to full containers, received from or delivered to VICT.
The change to VICT’s Infrastructure charge will provide income only to cover the lease increase, and equates to a direct pss-through of the increased port costs.
VICT delivers a global leading standard in modern technology operations. We deliver a world class service with leading truck turnaround times, continual systems improvements and investments to ensure greater efficiencies for both landside and shipside operations and a convenient receival period underpinned by extended operating hours.
