What Is a VBS Slot and Why Does It Matter?
The Vehicle Booking System controls when trucks can collect your container. Here is how it affects your delivery date.

Every truck collecting or delivering a container at the Port Botany terminals needs a booking in the terminal’s Vehicle Booking System (VBS).
Why slots matter
Slots are limited, especially after big vessel arrivals. If your carrier can only get a slot late in the week, your container may sit at the port longer — and get closer to storage charges.
How to get the best outcome
- Book your transport as soon as you have the ETA.
- Make sure the container is released and cleared.
- Be flexible with delivery times where possible.
