Sea Freight Councils:

Sea Freight Export Councils continue to be established around Australia, following on from the 1997 recommendation of the Supermarket to Asia Transport and Logistics Working Group. New additions to the Australian Freight Council Network includes councils in Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.

The Councils exist to serve the needs of agrifood exporters by working to improve the efficiency and quality of the transport logistics chain. Some of the key activities of the councils include establishment of a national logistics education centre, a national project to monitor the temperature of selected perishable goods while in transit, and projects to improve citrus fruit and other perishable goods export logistics.

Government:

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government proudly supports the Sea Freight Council of Queensland. The Department provides ongoing funding for the Council and its activities and is supportive of industry / government participation. The Council has strong working relationships with government and acts as a conduit for issues to be discussed and information flow to be accessed more readily by each sector of the sea freight chain.

The Sea Freight Council of Queensland is further supported and funded by the Queensland Department of State Development and the Sea Freight Council is supportive of Queensland export initiatives, particularly in the regions.

Port Authorities:

The Queensland coastline is host to 14 modern and efficient trading ports, two community ports, and a number of non-trading ports located at regular intervals from Brisbane in the south-east to Karumba in the north-west.

Eight port authorities administer these ports.

The ports of Brisbane, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns are each managed by single regional port authorities while the Ports Corporation of Queensland administers the remainder.
