What Was This Logistics Operation About?
Transways Logistics International, a member of the AiO Logistics Network (AiO), completed a complex project logistics operation supporting the multi-billion-dollar Rockhampton Ring Road project in Queensland, Australia. The scope included transporting 7,000 cubic meters of steel jetty structures from Hobart to Rockhampton through a combination of sea and road transport.
The federally and state-funded project, valued at 1.98 billion Australian dollars, required temporary jetty infrastructure for construction stages. Transways Logistics International was entrusted with handling, securing, transporting, and delivering all structural cargo from origin to site.
To showcase this operation, the company released a project video that can be viewed on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RGjWYC3YVs).
How Was the Cargo Moved?
The cargo originated at Hobart Port, where more than 221 pieces of steel structures were loaded onto the MV Florijngracht and secured via welding and strapping to meet maritime standards. The vessel sailed to Gladstone, where discharge was supervised around the clock by Transways Logistics International and its partners to avoid detention charges.
Once ashore, cargo was transported to a 5,000 square meter laydown yard near Gladstone Port for staging, inspection, and storage. The final leg consisted of road transport to the Rockhampton jobsite, including oversized pieces requiring escorts, divers, and specialized routing across Queensland.
Why Did This Move Matter?
The operation demonstrates the importance of specialized project cargo coordination in major infrastructure developments. It showcases how experienced project network members like Transways Logistics International provide essential support for national construction programs where precision, compliance, and safety are mandatory.
With more than four decades in project logistics, customs brokerage, and freight solutions, the company continues to prove its ability to manage high-stakes operations across multimodal trade lanes in Australia and beyond.
