QLD - DP World Brisbane Terminal Closure November 20 2025

Please be advised that DP World Brisbane (DPBNE) remains fully closed, with an estimated 48-hour disruption following critical infrastructure damage at the terminal.

Current Situation – Terminal Remains Closed

DP World has confirmed that critical power infrastructure supplying four Automated Stacking Cranes (ASCs) was damaged during civil works, resulting in:

• Complete in-gate and yard closure

• Severe delays to all container movements

• Suspension of all road operations

DP World is implementing:

• Back-up power solutions

• Prioritised handling of reefer containers

• Manual handling plans for moves where safe and possible

Expected Duration: Approx. 48 Hours

An early assessment indicates that the outage impacts will likely extend for up to 48 hours, potentially pushing well into next week due to backlog recovery.

This is expected to cause:

• Significant delays to wharf collections and dehires

• Disrupted delivery windows across the wider Brisbane logistics network

• Potential flow-on impacts depending on how quickly operations can stabilise once power is restored

Import & Export Allowances

DP World has confirmed the following support measures:

Imports

• Free time extensions for all affected import containers

Exports

• Late receival waivers for export containers

• KLN will continue to notify customers directly about any containers impacted.

Operational Planning Advice

Due to the length of this outage and the expected backlog:

• Please anticipate delays into next week for all DPW-Brisbane movements

• Plan for rescheduling of collections and dehires

• Allow sufficient buffer for time-sensitive shipments

• Further updates will be issued as more information becomes available

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this major operational disruption. KLN will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as they are released by DP World Brisbane.
