Important Notice:

Tropical Cyclone Alfred Affecting Brisbane Ports & Brisbane CFS Depot

Closure

Dear Valued Customer,

Tropical Cyclone Alfred is forecasted to make landfall as a Category 2 cyclone between Brisbane and

the Sunshine Coast later this week.

As a precaution, Brisbane Ports and Brisbane CFS Depots are closed. All cargo on hand is being

secured to the best extent possible.

The timeline for reopening will depend on the cyclone’s impact, and we anticipate service

disruptions possibly through to early next week.

A weather event like this brings flooding and debris to the river & shipping channel that will need to

be assessed by authorities prior to Ports and Depots reopening. While some carriers may be

advertising cut offs and schedules to remain for early next week, we expect this to change over the

coming days. Right now, the Ports and Depots are not operating until further notice.

Schedule delays are expected, and we will provide an update on services and revised schedules once

confirmed next week.
