  • MPC slashes port char
    The Melbourne Port Corporation has reduced its charges - effective from I July.
    During the 1998/99 financial year wharfage charges on full containers will be reduced by 3.8 per cent to $33 per TEU. This reduction follows last year's 8.5 per cent decrease. An additional 15 per cent reduction will apply to 40 ft loaded export containers in what the MPC says is "an effort to address Melbourne's current imbalance between imported and exported 40 ft containers.
    The MPC is also reducing wharfage on empty containers, the price of which will fall by 59.9 per cent to $4 per TEU. The MPC said that "shipping lines calling at the Port of Melbourne will benefit from a substantial reduction in wharfage on empty containers".
