We wish to advise that the Public Transport Authority (PTA) has confirmed the **closure of the Fremantle Rail Bridge** this coming weekend. During this period, **no train services will operate in or out of NQRT**.

### **Closure Period**

- **Friday, 12 December (PM) – Sunday, 14 December**
- Rail operations will **resume Monday, 15 December**

### **Operational Impact on Deliveries**

Customers should expect disruptions across the supply chain, including:

- **Longer port-to-destination transit times**  
  → Extended free time on import containers will be essential.
- **Limited routing options during business hours**  
  → Delivery schedules may be pushed out or resequenced.
- **Delayed deliveries**  
  → We kindly ask for flexibility with receiving windows.
- **Delayed empty container dehires**  
  → Flexibility with opening and closing times at delivery sites will help minimise delays.  
  → Same-day empty collections may not be feasible.
- **Risk of container detention**  
  → KLN will not be liable for detention arising from this rail shutdown.

### **Recommended Customer Actions**

To minimise potential impacts, we strongly recommend:

1. **Start negotiating free time extensions with your shipping lines immediately.**  
   Containers with fewer than **10 free days** are particularly at risk.
2. **Advise the KLN Customer Service Team of any extended operating hours** for your delivery sites.  
   Greater access helps widen delivery windows and improves our ability to return empties.
3. **Ensure your stakeholders are aware of the expected delays** so alternative arrangements can be made where necessary.
