The Freight & Trade Alliance (F&TA) has also been lobbying the Victorian government, to clarify whether importers are permitted to receive containerised cargo.
"It is critical that all imports are allowed to flow, otherwise we will have an estimated 300,000 containers over the next six weeks congesting our wharves and impeding the delivery of all goods, including food, PPE and medical," warned Paul Zalai, the F&TA's director and co-founder.
"We also need these import containers to be unpacked and made available for our exporters, in particular to support a struggling agricultural sector expecting substantial crops this spring and desperate to reach overseas markets."
