Director of the Freight and Trade Alliance and secretariat to the Australian Peak Shippers Association Paul Zalai said exporters, importers and freight forwarders were looking to long term strategies to manage supply chains.
"Governments must maximise port assets and manage our trade gateways through incentivisation of rail usage for imports to metropolitan sites and importantly, streamlined connectivity to regional areas to cost effectively reach export markets," Mr Zalai said.
