With the logistics supply chain experiencing unprecedented challenges, Port of Tauranga announced on Friday the 4th of December 2020, that the VBS charges at MetroPort will increase to $30.00 per booking, coming into effect from Monday the 14th of December 2020. The increase has been applied due to the cost of additional rail services that have been added to move the increase in cargo moving to and from MetroPort. This new VBS rate will be reviewed by Port of Tauranga again in mid-January once they can gauge the ongoing need for additional trains for the diverted import volumes.
As you will be aware, all containers that we collect or deliver to MetroPort require a VBS booking to ensure we can provide you with the service you require. Due to Nexus Logistics having no control over these charges, we will have no option other than pass this increase onto you from the 14th of December 2020. The new Metroport VBS charge that will be applied for all containers through MetroPort from the 14th of December 2020 is $37.50. This charge includes the time required to make and manage your booking along with the administration that is required for this process.
As mentioned above, these are unprecedented times that we are all facing in the supply chain, and we look forward to seeing some normality resume in the new year. Please feel free to contact the Nexus Logistics team if you require any further information.
