L. Arthur Quarantine depot is as of - tomorrow morning the 24th January - unable to accept - fumigation containers - until further notice.

 

If you currently have a fumigation direction for L. Arthur - you are advised to have it changed / directed to another depot.

 

Containers for Unpack / inspects and Rural tailgate are not affected and will be dealt with on arrival.

 

We regret having to make this decision but have had delays throughout the Quarantine processes beyond our control that are affecting turnaround times both within the depot and of container being dealt with.

 

I will update you when we reach a point at which we are confident we can provide the service that you are accustomed to.

 

L. Arthur cartage clients are not affected by the above notice.
