Logistics

The closer economic integration of Australia with the rest of the world has seen greater trade flows develop over the past 20 years. These trade flows have been supported by an increase in the use of containers as the means of exporting and importing commodities and manufactured goods.

Ports provide a crucial interface for the transfer of containers between the seaside and landside, with the owners and operators of these facilities having an active interest in ensuring that this interface can operate in an effective manner. Sydney Ports Corporation is a State Owned Corporation, with a mandate for managing port activities at Port Botany and Sydney Harbour, and a key stakeholder in facilitating the efficient landside movement of containers and general cargo.

Detailed information on Sydney Ports’ involvement in logistics can be found in the Sydney Ports Corporation Logistics Review 2007/08.
