CTAA seeks solution to rising costs with rest of logistics chain

| Container logistics in Sydney is under pressure, local organisations say |
The commercial practices of shipping lines and the performance of some empty container parks (ECPs) in Sydney are causing significant cost increases in empty container management, according to advocacy group Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA).
CTAA director Neil Chambers warns that the "additional costs are causing major difficulties for container transport operators in Sydney, and need to be remedied soon".
Its concerns are matched by those of the Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA), which describes delays as being "extensive" and "ongoing".
CTAA sees the focus of immediate attention as being delays and a lack of operational capacity at DP World Logistics Australia Parks 1 & 2 in Botany Road, Port Botany.
