27 Mar 2017 / Fisherman Island, Australia
Australian Amalgamated Terminals (AAT) has undertaken a rate review on its terminals. As a result, tariffs will remain the same at Melbourne and Port Kembla and will increase at Fisherman’s island.
The proposed rate increases for Fisherman Island are scheduled to take effect on 1 July 2017. The rate increases are undertaken in accordance with the annual price review process outlined in Clause 2 of Schedule 5 of the Undertaking.
