Peak Season Information - Fremantle (WANF 2017/050)

The West Australian Port Operations Task Force (WAPOTF) through the Peak Season Working Group have been working behind the scenes to put together some valuable links and information leading into the coming Christmas – New Year period.

Strong import volumes since July along with increasing space issues with vessels are a strong indication that this year we may experience a stronger than normal peak season.

We urge industry to be prepared and maintain strong communication channels with clients, service providers and port operators.

Information on working hours and a peak season guide along with other papers can be found on the Fremantle Ports web site

Members will also have seen the recent NNF 2017/ 292 that linked to the notice of working hours by the Department of Agriculture (DAWR). We have had discussions with DAWR local management today and they strongly urge members to lodge any booking requests, as per the Industry Notice, for the period 27th through 29th, by close of business Wednesday 20th December at the latest. Requests MUST be lodged AND confirmed as above or they may not be able to be met.

Just a reminder the booking request email address is [email protected]
