Please note upcoming changes to Vehicle Booking System (VBS) and port access charges at Port of Auckland, affecting movements through Fergusson Container Terminal and Multi-Cargo operations.
## **Two confirmed increase dates**
- **1 July 2026** VBS and port access fee increases come into effect as previously advised. These apply to full container movements across both Fergusson Container Terminal and Multi-Cargo.
- **1 January 2027** A further round of fee adjustments will apply from 1 January 2027. Notably, the January 2027 fees for Fergusson Container Terminal have been revised downward from the figures originally indicated — a positive update reflecting Port of Auckland's latest confirmed schedule.
## **What this means for your business**
These charges are levied by Port of Auckland to transporters and will be on-charged accordingly. We recommend factoring both increase dates into your forward planning, quoting, and procurement processes as soon as possible.
To help manage cost exposure, we also suggest considering:
- Off-peak slot scheduling where possible
- Alternative routing via Port of Tauranga where operationally suitable
- Dynamic FCL Hubbing as a cost management option
Your KLN Oceania representative can walk you through how these changes apply to your specific cargo profile and help you plan accordingly. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
