Stevedore Patrick Terminals has announced that it has begun two new voluntary landside efficiency initiatives.
The company will begin the publication of quarterly landside performance metrics for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle. The metrics broadly align with the Victorian Voluntary Port Performance Model which was developed by Freight Victoria in consultation with transport operators and industry bodies.
Patrick Terminals has also said that it will also begin to hold Representative Landside Efficiency Groups in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fremantle. These groups will focus on developing solutions which support landside performance and the overall efficiency of Patrick’s terminals and provide information about Patrick Terminals’ landside investment program.
Michael Jovicic, CEO of Patrick Terminals said, “Patrick Terminals has maintained a significant landside investment and innovation program, delivering significant productivity benefits for landside customers and end consumers. I am pleased to announce these voluntary initiatives to further support Patrick Terminals’ landside focus.”
Patrick Terminals has appointed Rita Antranik to the position of National Intermodal Manager who will work with landside customers to drive engagement focused on landside productivity benefits.
These initiatives are being launched by Patrick Terminals on a voluntary, market-led basis and reflect industry feedback on landside matters, the company added.
