UPDATED WEEKLY FUEL LEVY – EFFECTIVE SUNDAY 29 MARCH 2026
Dear Valued Customer,
Global fuel markets have become increasingly volatile in recent weeks, largely driven by escalating tensions and conflict in the Middle East. This disruption to global oil supply has resulted in sharp increases in diesel prices across Australia.
According to the Australian Institute of Petroleum (AIP), the average Terminal Gate Price (TGP) for diesel increased by between 29.2% and 30.7% across Australian cities in just one week (from Wednesday 4 March to Tuesday 10 March).
As a result, the updated fuel levy below will take effect from Sunday, 29 March 2026. The weekly cycle will run from Sunday to Saturday.
Fuel represents a significant component of container transport operating costs. To ensure we can continue providing safe, reliable, and sustainable transport services, it is necessary to adjust our fuel levy accordingly.
Given the rapidly changing fuel market, LMF will now review the fuel levy on a weekly basis rather than monthly. Adjustments will be made as required to reflect current market conditions. We expect weekly reviews to continue until fuel markets stabilise.
The updated fuel levy will be communicated each Friday and will take effect from the following Sunday.
We understand that changes of this nature can be challenging and appreciate your continued understanding and support during this period of uncertainty.
