Sydney trials aim to improve logistics performance

Its aim under the Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy is to reduce landside delay around the cargo terminals and to cut logistics costs by promoting consistent landside service by all service providers.

“Over a two-week period commencing February 16, Sydney Ports in its first industry trial will benchmark the port’s existing performance to support greater transparency of industry logistics chain performance,” explained Sydney Ports Corporation chief operating officer Paul Weedon.

“We will use the first trial to baseline current performance across the logistics chain, including container terminals, carriers and empty parks. We’ll collect data to validate the proposed performance measures in scope for the second trial in April and for input into other project activities,” he added.
