Port Phillip Ferries Pricing
Temporary Fuel Levy
From 4:00 pm Friday 4 September 2026, an 8% temporary fuel levy will apply to standard Port Phillip Ferries ticket purchases. With fuel prices continuing to rise and government fuel support being removed, our operating costs have increased significantly. We’ve absorbed these additional costs for as long as we can, however the ongoing increase means we now need to introduce this temporary levy to help offset a portion of the additional cost of operating our services. The good news for PortPlus Members is that the 8% fuel levy does not apply to PortPlus Membership passes, making membership an even better-value way to travel regularly and save.
