EXECUTIVE REPORT
ACCC sets the scene for state
governments to act on Terminal
Handling Charges
By PAUL BLAKE, Chairman, Australian Peak Shippers Association
The much-anticipated Australian
Competition and Consumer
Commission (ACCC) Container
Stevedoring Monitoring Report
2017/18 was released on 30 October
2018 against a backdrop of the
announcement of further significant
increases in Terminal Access Fees by
DP World Australia to take effect on 1
January 2019.
In my report for the Spring edition of
