[We are] a non-profit organisation for young professionals working in the maritime industry.
Our aim is to foster connection and growth for young people across all areas within the shipping industry. YSA has a diverse membership with representatives from liner companies, terminals, freight forwarders, marine
insurers, as well as lawyers, engineers and consultants.
As always, this year YSA hosted a number of social, networking and educational events where our members had the opportunity to discuss important industry news and socialise with like-minded individuals.
Our first event was a tour of GrainCorp’s Port Kembla Grain Terminal Export Facility, which is the state’s largest grain export terminal. Members were given a tour led by Damien O’Connell, Port Operations Manager at GrainCorp.
The tour included the control room, rail hoppers, the famous 10 MT siloes and grain loading facility, which includes 9 km of conveyor belts! It was fascinating to learn about the massive operation of coordinating vessels, grain delivery, biosecurity and export checks that GrainCorp provides to its customers all at the one location.”
