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.
