flag Australian port firms made record profits despite stagnant volumes, sparking regulatory concerns over inflated fees and market imbalance.

flag Australian stevedore companies earned record profits of $808.6 million in 2024/25 despite stable container volumes, unchanged productivity, and excess terminal capacity. flag The ACCC raised concerns over a potential market failure, noting revenue per container hit a record $423.11 and landside charges reached $1.15 billion—nearly half of industry revenue—shifting costs from shipping lines to truck operators. flag The regulator warned rising fees, disconnected from market conditions, create a bargaining power imbalance, increasing costs for importers, exporters, and consumers, and may require government intervention to correct systemic inefficiencies.
