Government loses battle against port fee hike

6/28/2012 10:40:30 AM

Tasmanian business will be hit with a big increase in Victorian port fees, despite months of negotiations, reported ABC News.


Under the Port of Melbourne's new tariff schedule, Tasmanians business will pay an extra US$10 million a year.

Some wharf fees will more than double.

Fees for containers will go up by $21 and car fees will jump by $12.

Tasmania's Infrastructure Minister David O'Byrne says the port has decided to impose lower charges than originally proposed, but he is extremely disappointed.

The new fees will apply from next month.

The increases follow a $75 million licence fee imposed on the Port of Melbourne by the Victorian Government.
