Newcastle gains trans-Tasman breakbulk link

Australia’s port of Newcastle has welcomed a new trans-Tasman shipping service, creating a direct link between the Hunter Region, in New South Wales, and New Zealand.

Commencing on October 27, the MOVe Logistics service brings both breakbulk cargo and containers through the port of Newcastle’s multipurpose terminal at Mayfield.

“Diversification is about broadening the trade we handle and creating more opportunities for the industries and businesses that depend on our port,” said port of Newcastle ceo Craig Carmody. “Our region produces everything from mining equipment and advanced engineering solutions to food and agricultural products. Connecting these businesses with international markets through the port closest to them can help their competition and growth.”

Port of Newcastle is actively engaging with regional manufacturers, exporters, importers and logistics providers to identify cargo opportunities for the new service.
