Technology, natural disasters and gender<br />
diversity were among the themes of<br />
events over the past month<br />
AN OPENING CEREMONY FOR SVITZER AUSTRALIA’S<br />
new offices attracted a large gathering to the Port Melbourne<br />
premises. The new offices are near the mouth of the Yarra River<br />
and are built from shipping containers. The ceremony included<br />
speeches and a Welcome to Country.<br />
Meanwhile, the Supply Chain and Logistics Association of<br />
Australia held its annual Women in Logistics lunch in Hawthorn<br />
which was well attended.<br />
Shipping Australia also held a breakfast in Melbourne, with<br />
discussion about automated vehicles and blockchain.<br />
On the other side of Bass Strait, a PIANC seminar was held<br />
in Hobart generating lively debate about the impact of natural<br />
disasters on ports.<br />
Rounding out recent social events was a lunch in Melbourne<br />
organised by the Cargo Club, with ex-football star and<br />
‘lambassador’ Sam Kekovich the guest speaker and money being<br />
raised for The Code 9 Foundation, an organisation which supports<br />
emergency services workers.<br />
