Long Melbourne Wharf Delays - DP World and POTA.
As some maybe aware, the conditions at DP World of late are extremely bad. We have been experiencing delays from 3 to 5 hours.
These delays have been unavoidable and all transport companies are experiencing the same delays.
Furhter more, congestion at DP World has resulted in some vessels being available from POTA (a third party off wharf site). The delays at this facility have been worse, with delays from 3 to 7 hours.
Our transport companies have been attempting to collect containers on the weekends and durning the night in order to avoid long delays, however last weekend also experience an average of 5 hours wait.
As a reuslt of the above all transport companies are passing on detention fees to recover their costs for trucks and labour sitting in the queue. These costs are quite high and it is with regret that we to need to pass these cost on to you, our client.
We appreciate your understanding in this frustrating period.
