We’re excited to invite you to a Roundtable Session in Gladstone to celebrate the recent launch of ANL’s APR2 service, now connecting China and Korea directly to Gladstone.

This new service marks a major step forward for importers across Central and Northern Queensland — delivering faster transit times, lower costs, and greater reliability across the supply chain.

Why It Matters

Queensland’s importers have long faced the challenge of reliance on southern ports and long-haul road and rail networks — adding unnecessary cost, delay, and congestion. The new direct Gladstone call transforms this model. Cargo now lands closer to regional customers, streamlining distribution, reducing double-handling, and improving both efficiency and sustainability. This service represents a shift toward decentralised, smarter freight pathways, aligning with the state’s growing emphasis on regional infrastructure and trade resilience.

Key Benefits for Importers

·       Direct Gladstone Connection: Cut up to 7–10 days off total transit time from Asia.

·       Three Additional Vessels: A fortnightly service frequency for reliable and predictable arrivals.

·       Lower Inland Costs: Reduce reliance on costly Brisbane or Sydney line-haul.

·       Improved Reliability: Stronger sailing rotations and increased vessel capacity for consistent supply.

·       Reduced Emissions: Shorter inland legs mean leaner, more sustainable logistics.
