A closer look at how coastal shipping service works
After ships have unloaded goods in Eastern Australia ports, on their return journey to Singapore or Hong Kong, we are able to pick up and deliver domestic goods as they travel West along the coast.
This service is particularly useful when there are additional pressures on the Australian road and rail market.
