BNE - Patrick Brisbane – Transition to New OptiBook Container Booking System - November 8 2025

Written by KLN Oceania | Nov 5, 2025 11:45:53 PM

Please be advised that Patrick Brisbane Terminal will transition to its new OptiBook container booking system over the weekend of Saturday, 8 November 2025.

This upgrade represents a significant change in how Patrick manages booking, storage, and container availability — shifting from a vessel-level system to a container-level model.

Key Changes to Note

  • Bookings can only be made once a container has physically discharged.
    Advance slot planning before vessel discharge is no longer possible.

  • First Free Day (FFD) and storage tracking will now occur at the container level.
    Dates will no longer be published at a vessel level.

  • Free time is now calculated as discharge time + 3 working days (to the time of discharge).
