VIC Patrick Fremantle – Vessel Delays & Port Evacuation Due to Severe Weather - 4 September 2025

Please keep in mind that Patrick Fremantle Terminal has started a precautionary port evacuation due to forecast severe weather conditions over the coming weekend. This has caused disruptions to vessel schedules and changes to cargo receipt and availability dates.

Impacted Vessels:

• COSCO GENOA v095N
  Export receipt dates have been removed. Amended reception windows are now expected to commence from 6 September 2025, 14:20.

• KOTA LAMBAI v180S
  Export receipt dates have been removed. Amended receipt windows are expected to commence on 6 September 2025, at 14:20.

• SYDNEY EXPRESS v531S
  Export receipt dates have been amended—new receival period to commence from 6 September 2025, 14:20.

• JOGELA v206S
  Import cargo availability dates have been removed and will be reissued once the terminal reopens and operations stabilise.

Duration of Disruption:

• Commencement: 3 September 2025, 20:20

• Expected Resolution: 6 September 2025, 14:20

• Total Duration: Approximately 2 days and 18 hours

Important Notes:

• Export receival windows will reopen once the port evacuation is lifted and conditions are deemed safe.

• Carriers holding bookings impacted by these changes are required to resubmit once updated slots are confirmed.

• Vessel delays and flow-on congestion are expected into early next week as Patrick works through the backlog.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as soon as new dates and availability windows are confirmed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this period of disruption.
