DP World Fremantle:

2. There are several planned 24hr bans on the loading and unloading of trucks.

The strike actions have extended once already & it would be reasonable to assume we will continue to see ongoing disruption through December.

The flow on effect from the above is now being felt as we are seeing Ocean carriers changing port rotation & moving Stevedoring services to alternate providers, which is causing congestion & delays to secure berthing windows.

We will consistently provide updates as we receive more information.

If you have any further questions, please contact our dedicated Customer Solutions or Transport Teams.

Thank you for choosing BR International.
