About Fintran Australia
Fintran Australia is an Australian-owned, end-to-end biosecurity specialist helping organisations manage biosecurity risk across international supply chains, from pre-arrival planning and regulatory compliance through to fumigation, treatment and clearance services.
With more than 25 years of global technical and operational experience, Fintran works with shipping lines, importers, exporters, port and logistics operators to help them navigate Australia’s biosecurity requirements, manage risk and minimise disruption to cargo movements.
Fintran provides biosecurity services across the grain, automotive and RoRo, breakbulk and project cargo sectors. Its services include biosecurity advisory and risk management, helping organisations identify and address biosecurity risks before cargo arrives; specialist fumigation and treatment services for grain, cargo, vessels and facilities; and the supply of specialist fumigation products used to support treatment programs.
For the shipping industry, effective biosecurity management plays an important role in protecting Australia while supporting the efficient movement of vessels and cargo. Early identification of biosecurity risks, appropriate treatment planning and compliance with regulatory requirements can help reduce the potential for delays, vessel disruption and other impacts across the supply chain.
Fintran’s approach is captured in its positioning: “Biosecurity, in safe hands,” which reflects its commitment to take ownership of biosecurity challenges, to minimise disruption and to keep cargo moving.
Matthew Slavin, CEO, Fintran Australia, commented: “Shipping Australia plays an important role in representing and connecting the organisations that keep Australia’s maritime trade moving. As a business working closely with shipping lines, ports, importers, exporters and logistics operators, joining Shipping Australia gives Fintran an opportunity to contribute our specialist biosecurity knowledge to the broader industry conversation.”
“Biosecurity requirements are becoming increasingly important and complex across international supply chains. We see real value in working more closely with Shipping Australia and its members, sharing knowledge and helping the industry anticipate and navigate biosecurity risks before they result in delays or disruption.”
“Ultimately, our role is to help protect Australia while enabling trade to keep moving, Biosecurity, in safe hands, to keep your cargo moving.”
Captain Melwyn Noronha, CEO of Shipping Australia, commented: “Fintran Australia is a leading provider of biosecurity solutions bringing valuable expertise and experience to Shipping Australia’s membership. We are very fortunate to have a highly qualified and experienced provider who can assist our members with their biosecurity needs. Their specialist knowledge can help strengthen our industry when consulting with members to provide policy input to government. This will, in turn, benefit our members, the local industry, and Australia. We look forward to working alongside Fintran Australia.”
