Pacific Forum Line Trade Notice: Import Container Hire (Detention) Tariff Update

Dear Valued Customers,

Please find below the updated import container hire free period and daily rates for Australia. These changes take effect from shipped on-board date 1st April 2023.

Special units include open tops and flat racks.

14 free days begins from 3 calendar days after actual vessel arrival to port. This allows sufficient operational time to discharge units and ensure containers are available for uplift. If, for example, vessel arrives into port on 10-April, 14 free days will begin from 14-April.

Please note that export container hire (detention) period remains unchanged at 10 days from empty uplift for all origin ports.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and please reach out to your Pacific Forum Line representative for any further information.
