SHIP DELAYS AAA SERVICE

Sorry to report once again that the AAA service has been failing to meet the sailing schedule departure dates. It is the same problem as always, bad weather and ports. We are advised that should bad weather delay the arrival of a vessel in Brisbane port and that vessel misses its scheduled berth, then it needs to go into a queue to get a berth – this may take a day or two. So, the main reasons for the delays is bad weather and waiting for slots in Brisbane port. I wish we had a solution for this but to date Willard Estate Logistics have not been able to control the weather – we are working on it however!
You will note from the sailing schedule that the Kota Pusaka V96 is omitting Bell Bay port to try and make up its schedule once again. As we get closer to the week beginning 10th September, Willard Estate Logistics will evaluate the requirements for LCL capacity and determine if alternative methods are required (last time there was an omission, Willard Estate Logistics packed an FAK via Melbourne to maintain the weekly service).
