Operational Impact
-
Container parks continue to close intermittently due to safety restrictions, resulting in extensive delays to container collection and dehire.
-
While KLN will make every effort to dehire empty containers within the free period, some units may need to be temporarily staged at our yard (additional charges may apply).
-
Please note that KLN will not be liable for any detention charges incurred as a result of these weather-related closures.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as these high winds continue to affect operations across Victoria. For any urgent enquiries, please contact our Customer ServicesTeam.
------------------------
Please be advised that strong wind conditions across Melbourne are affecting operations at both Empty Container Parks and Terminals today.
Severe Weather Warning
-
Access restrictions and temporary closures are in effect at several facilities for safety reasons.
-
Delays to container movements are expected throughout the day as sites close intermittently in response to wind conditions.
Our team is actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as conditions change.
Should your container be affected, our Customer Service Team will contact you directly.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of disruption.
