Why we know the business better than anyone else!

Monthly attendance at the International Shipping Organisation meetings keeps up to date with all changes and pending changes from shipping lines, port authority, channels authority, ship owners, leasing companies, AQIS, Australian Custom Services, stevedores and freight forwarders.

Direct links to stevedores allow flexibility with timeslotting, updates on receivals and deliveries for containers along with sailing schedules and updates on general waterfront issues.

Close alliances with all major shipping lines allows flexible container availability, advanced schedule updates, competitive pricing on sea cargo and choice from a range of lines to all overseas destinations.

Strong alliance with sound forwarders allows our customers a range of services, schedules, lines and destinations.

Alliance with Freight Victoria, the new Victorian rail freight operator, allows limitless volume movements by the most efficient inland transport mode. The cold chain train that is jointly operated by Wakefield Transport and Freight Victoria has been hailed as possibly the best cold chain example in the country.

The use of EDI systems within our alliance group ensures transparency in the cargo chain to the relevant chain members, which ensures efficiency.

Our Internet export clearance authority, directly linked to customs, allows critical shipments to be cleared in minutes. This replaces the continual faxing of documents back and forward and means changes can be done online with one data entry point.

We admit we aren't perfect but we continually aspire to be.
