INFRASTRUCTURE SURCHARGES
While coronavirus is understandably taking much attention, we have not eased up on our advocacy to address Infrastructure Surcharges.
To that end and further to the Port of Melbourne Pricing & Access Review, we look forward to our bi-lateral meeting later today with Mr Praveen Reddy (the new Executive Director, Freight Victoria / Department of Transport) and the Hon. Melissa Horne (Minister for Ports and Freight). |

| FTA / APSA FORMAL SUBMISSION - AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING COMPETITION REFORM |
|
| Shipping line market consolidation plus the emergence of stevedore-imposed Infrastructure Surcharges has resulted in supply chain costs rapidly increasing, exposing significant deficiencies in the effectiveness of Part X in being able to achieve basic shipper protections. |

| THE LOADSTAR - AUSTRALIAS CHINA-DEPENDENT ECONOMY STARTS TO FEEL THE EFFECT OF THE VIRUS |

John Park, head of business operations at the Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA), said: "What we are hearing is that fresh produce exporters of fruit, vegetables and meats, along with the wine industry, are feeling the pinch simply because China has become such a large consumer of these products."
And surcharges on reefers remains another issue for exporters, he noted, with FTA members reporting blanked sailings for direct voyages.
"Members are also concerned at peak season surcharges, not only on China outbound, but also on Europe or US trades to Oceania, due the shortage of empties in those areas caused by no exports from China," Mr Park said. |

| A CALL FOR REGULATION TO END EXPONENTIAL INCREASES IN PORT ACCESS FEES |
|
FTA/APSA have outlined serious concerns regarding the exponential increases in infrastructure sucharges at the Port of Melbourne - summarised below:.
1. The rapid increases in terminal access fees are hurting Victorian businesses
2. Left unconstrained, Victorian trade volumes will be afected Participants in the workshop
3. Handling / administration fees continue to distort terminal access fee increases
4. If left unconstrained, terminal access prices will continue to increase and the impact on Victorian
businesses will worsen
5. The only acceptable relief is to disallow the pricing strategy altogether
