Port Botany Landside Delays 
Those of you who have been required to remove containers or drop empties to Patricks at Port Botany in the last week would be well aware of the congestion, however, matters became so congested last evening, the Police were called in to re-direct traffic in the surrounding area.
 
Today Patricks have Port has had to be closed to deliveries for 2 hours from 11am - 1pm to help alleviate the situation. Patrick will resume Receipt & Delivery at around 13:00 and will service Vehicle Booking System slots only. All slots prior to 13:00 hrs will not be processed until further notice.
 
In the meantime, please CLICK HERE to read a circular from the Australian Trucking Association NSW regarding the recent landside operational performance at Port Botany.

Thanks and regards
