CONTAINER SHIPPING & LOGISTICS An aerial view of the LINX CC intermodal facility at Enfield FACT BOX “What we have seen in Australia for the last five to 10 years is one government with a focus on rail and that has been the New South Wales government,” Mr James told an Australian Logistics Council gathering in Melbourne earlier in the year. “What we’ve seen in New South Wales is a number of initiatives to improve modal share in our ports driving the infrastructure and encouragement of infrastructure in intermodals in Sydney.” This prompted discussion about how Victoria could increase its rail freight share and Mr Cutinelli agreed “it was time for some action” and that LINX was “actively engaged with a number of parties including the [Victorian] government to see where that next intermodal terminal for us is”. But returning to the topic of Enfield, Mr Cutinelli says taking over the lease reflected the needs of customers. “It is all about going where our customers go and it is about partnering with our customers,” he said. ENFIELD INTERMODAL TERMINAL • • The terminal is in Sydney’s west, about 18km from Port Botany • The terminal is a 15.1ha lease from NSW Ports, with terminal capacity of 300,000 TEU annually • LINX Cargo Care Group took over the lease from Aurizon in April 2018 The terminal has a dedicated freight line to Port Botany and direct access to the interstate mainline corridor “We’ve got huge growth expectations, population growth [leading to increased freight volumes]. There are huge predictions so far as container volumes in the next 10 to 15 to 20 years. “We see it as a good strategy from a growth point of view to build our rail capability.” KENWICK INTERMODAL TERMINAL Switching from the east side of the continent to the west, LINX is heavily involved with the Kenwick Intermodal Terminal in the south east of Perth. Network operator Arc Infrastructure recently announced the Kenwick Intermodal Terminal would be built alongside the newlyopened Roe Highway Logistics Park, an industrial estate developed at the centre of Perth’s major arterial road network. Arc Infrastructure chief executive Paul Larsen said the new terminal would help connect the Logistics Park with the North Quay Rail Terminal at Fremantle. “Development of the terminal will support the government’s policy of increasing containers through North Quay on rail,” Mr Larsen said. By the end of 2020, LINX is set to provide rail and terminal services between North Quay Rail Terminal and Kenwick. Capacity throughput is expected to be in the order of 200,000 TEU equivalent, with the facility also having empty container park capacity. “The [WA container] market is growing well. Container numbers from Fremantle Port, both import and export volumes are growing,” Mr Cutinelli says. “I think if you look at the congestion that will be faced in the future this is part of a future proofing strategy.
