DSV Air & Sea has officially opened its new warehouse and container depot on Fisherman Islands at the Port of Brisbane.
The new facility enables the company to consolidate its freight forwarding, warehousing, projects and mining supply services into one purpose-built 4.8ha site.
The new facility includes a 14,900 sqm customs bonded warehouse, a two-storey operations office and approximately 26,200 sqm of container-related hardstand as well as awnings, truck manoeuvring and approved quarantine cleaning and storage capabilities.
It was delivered by PBPL with principal contractor McNab to a 5-star equivalent rating and has incorporated features such as a 100kW solar installation, low carbon concrete, energy-efficient LED lighting, water-efficient fittings and use of recycled materials.
DSV Air & Sea Oceania Managing Director Paul Thomson says the new facility is preparing the company to be a major player in Brisbane’s booming multimodal logistics landscape.
“This fantastic new facility escalates DSV to the leading provider in the Queensland logistics market,” Thomson says.
“Its close proximity to the port entrance will enable both efficient and cost-effective freight handling between our facility and the port.
“Our Project and Mining Supply services will be second to none with significant laydown area for out of gauge and heavy equipment handling. Our piece check and order management IT solutions together, with significant security investments, allow a best-in-class offering to our existing and future customers.
“The facility will be handling import/export of containers and airfreight products on behalf of DSV’s existing customers as well as loading our regular FAK services to Papua New Guinea and other South Asia destinations.
“It has been a very enjoyable experience collaborating with the PBPL on this purpose built, environmentally sustainable, and operationally efficient complex.”
“We are delighted to welcome DSV Air & Sea to its new home,” PBPL Neil Stephens says.
“This prime location, adjacent to the wharves on Fisherman Islands, also places them in the heart of the action as they focus on servicing major renewables projects coming through the Port.
