The Australian Logistics Council has welcomed its 50th member, the Moorebank Intermodal Company. According to the ALC, Australia’s major intermodal terminals, where road and rail freight interface, are critical to boosting productivity, efficiency and safety in the freight logistics industry.
“ALC is delighted to welcome the Moorebank Intermodal Company as its newest member and I look forward to working with Chair Kerry Schott, CEO Ian Hunt and the team on measures to improve national freight efficiency,” said ALC Managing Director Michael Kilgariff. “ALC has been evolving and growing substantially since its strategic re-positioning and with Moorebank Intermodal Company becoming ALC’s 50th member, it reinforces ALC’s role as the peak national body for the freight logistics industry.
“Without doubt, Moorebank is one of Australia’s key inland ports, and in many respects it is one of Australia’s most important pieces of freight logistics real estate. ALC believes the entire site needs to be developed in a manner that most efficiently facilitates the movement of freight to and from Port Botany within the shortest timeframe.
“The key to achieving this is by developing the entire site ‘englobo’ using a whole of precinct approach. ALC’s made this point in its election priorities document Time to Deliver which said adopting a whole of precinct approach is the best way to maximise the site’s potential and to facilitate more efficient freight movements in Sydney.”
