Fuelled by the Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme, significant new infrastructure developments and strong agri-export growth, Tasmania's container freight volumes have never been stronger.
Last year Freight & Trade Alliance, the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) and the Tasmanian Logistics Committee, co-hosted the Tasmanian Shippers Forum. The event was the surprise success of 2017, attracting more than 150 delegates (and a 50 person waiting list), including some of Australia's largest shippers and representatives from all major shipping lines. The event was filmed by ABC News, Landline and was opened by the Hon. Rene Hidding MP, the Tasmanian minister for Infrastructure and Transport.
Given last year's success we are moving to a larger venue in 2018:
Date: Friday 6 July 2018
Time: 9.00am to 4.45pm (registration from 8.30am)
followed by Networking session showcasing Tasmanian products 4.45am to 6.00pm
