The freight industry is being asked to participate in a critical landside container freight study which will be used for future public sector planning and forecasting for freight in Victoria.
The study, being undertaken by the Port of Melbourne Corporation in partnership with the Victorian Department of Transport and the Essential Services Commission, will update the 2002 study upon which most forecasting is currently based.
Aims of the study include:
• Quantifying container freight movements at the Port of Melbourne (import, export and domestic freight);
• Quantifying the movement of container freight through the Dynon Rail Terminal Precinct;
• Explaining the whole of the logistics chain process for containers passing through the Port of Melbourne and the Dynon Rail Terminals; and
• Forecasting freight volumes and movements to 2040.
